Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. 10a3+6a2
Factor out GCF: Now we will factor out the GCF from each term. For the first term, 10a3, we divide it by the GCF, 2a2, to get the remaining factor. 10a3 divided by 2a2 is 5a. For the second term, 6a2, we divide it by the GCF, 2a2, to get the remaining factor. 6a2 divided by 2a2 is 3. So, the polynomial factored out by the GCF is 2a20.
