Factor out a monomial

Full solution

Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is

1

, just retype the polynomial.

\newline

2p^2 - 4p

Divide by GCF: Now we will divide each term by the GCF to factor it out. $\newline$ For the first term, $2p^2$ divided by $2p$ gives us $p$ . $\newline$ For the second term, $-4p$ divided by $2p$ gives us $-2$ . $\newline$ So, the polynomial $2p^2 - 4p$ factored by the GCF $2p$ is $2p(p - 2)$ .
