Factor Linear Expressions and Find GCF

Factor each expression. If cannot be factored, write cannot be factored. All lowercase letters, no punctuation. Factor format: GCF(a+b) no spaces between letters, numbers and operations. The greatest common factor is outside the parentheses and the leftover factors are inside.
