Q. Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial.3p2+6p
Factor out GCF: Now, we factor out the GCF from each term in the polynomial.The term 3p2 can be written as 3×p×p. When we factor out the GCF, which is 3p, we are left with p.The term 6p can be written as 3×2×p. When we factor out the GCF, which is 3p, we are left with 2.
Write factored polynomial: We can now write the original polynomial with the GCF factored out: 3p2+6p=3p(p+2)This is the factored form of the polynomial with the GCF factored out.
