The GCF of a polynomial is the greatest factor which is common to all the terms of the polynomial.
Thus, an example of a polynomial with a GCF of 7 is
The above polynomial can also be rewritten as
This form of the polynomial is obtained by factoring out the GCF of the polynomial.
Answer:
The GCF of a polynomial is the greatest factor which is common to all the terms of the polynomial.
Thus, an example of a polynomial with a GCF of 7 is :
21x^2-42x+14
The above polynomial can also be rewritten as
7(3x^2-6x+2)
This form of the polynomial is obtained by factoring out the GCF of the polynomial.
