Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial.6m3+8m
Factor out GCF: Now we will factor out the GCF from each term in the polynomial. For the first term, 6m3, we divide it by the GCF, 2m, to get 3m2. So, 6m3 factored by 2m is 2m×3m2. For the second term, 8m, we divide it by the GCF, 2m, to get 4. So, 8m factored by 2m is 2m1.
Divide first term: We can now write the original polynomial with the GCF factored out:6m3+8m=2m(3m2+4)This is the factored form of the polynomial with the greatest common factor factored out.
