Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in both terms of the expression x−x3y. Both terms have an 'x' in common.
Factor Out 'x': Factor out the common 'x' from both terms. x(1−x2y)
Check for Further Factoring: Check if the expression inside the parentheses can be factored further.The expression 1−x2y cannot be factored further since it does not have a common factor or is not a special polynomial like a difference of squares.
Write Final Factored Form: Write down the final factored form of the expression.The completely factored form of the expression x−x3y is x(1−x2y).
