Factoring a Monomial From a Trinomial
Re-writing as the product of 2 or more factors.
For example: 6 = 2 · 3 8 = 4 · 2 But… we’ll use POLYNOMIALS.
1. Find the GCF of the coefficients.
2. Find the largest power of each common variable.
3. The GCF is the product of steps 1 and 2 4. DIVIDE each term by the GCF. Final answer is a multiplication problem: GCF ( Quotient after you divide )
