• constant

• monomials

GCF of 20 and 70

• 2
• 5
• 7
• 10

What is the GCF? 3x²-3x

• 3
• x
• 3x
• 1

What is the GCF? 5x²+20x

Factor out the GCF:

10x + 15

• 100x + 150

• 10(x + 5)

• 1(10x + 15)

• 5(2x + 3)

• 2x
• 2
• x
• 1

Factor out the GCF:

x² - 5x

• 1(x - 5)

• x(x - 5x)

• x(x - 5)

• x²(1 - 5)

Factor out the GCF:

24c⁵ - 12c³

• 6(4c⁵ - 2c³)

• 12c³(2c²)

• 12c³(2c² - 1)

• 12c³(2c² - 0)
