Factoring

Can think of factoring as

the opposite of

distributing(multiplying).

This means that we’re

actually dividing.

Factoring

“What is common to

all terms that we can

take out?”

Greatest Common Factor

Factor out the greatest common factor.

5𝑦 − 15𝑥𝑦 3𝑥 + 7 5 − 4 3𝑥 + 7 3

Greatest Common Factor

Factor out the greatest common factor.
