Question

Find three possible factors of the following
1. 18x^2y^2
2. 24x^2yz^2

Answer 1

Determine the greatest common factor of the given terms. The greatest common factor or GCF is the largest factor that all terms have in common. Do not confuse the GCF with the Least Common Denominator (LCD) which is the smallest expression that all terms go into, rather than the greatest number the terms have in common.

Step 2: Factor out (or divide out) the greatest common factor from each term. You could check your answer at the point by distributing the GCF to see if you get the original question. Factoring out the GCF is the first step in many factoring problems.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 18x²y²

= 2x × 3x × 3y²

2. 24x²yz²

= 2x² × 3y × 4z²
