Hi! I can help you with a smile! :)
- First of all, the GCF stands for "Greatest Common Factor"
- So, what is the GCF of the polynomial?
- Well, 14 is divisible by 1, 2, 7, and 14.
- 2 is only divisible by 1 and 2.
- Now, the GCF of both 14 and 2 is 2.
- So, let's factor 2.
- Remember, factoring looks like this:
- ab+ac=a(b+c)
- Now, let's factor our binomial (a polynomial with 2 terms)
- 14x-2=2(7x-1)
Answer:
2(7x-1)
Hope it helps.
