Math 10 Week #9- Removing the Greatest Common Factor

The is week in math we learned how to remove the greatest common factor. This helps factoring easier.

1. Factor all three numbers.

2. Take the common numbers and write it in front of the brackets.

3. Divide the three numbers by the common number and write it inside the brackets.

Example 1) In the first example you can see that 10, 25, and 30 can all be divided by 5 and X. So i wrote 5X infront of the brackets and then divide 10, 25, and 30 by 5, and you’ll eventually end up with 2, 5, and 6, which you write in the brackets, and also don’t forget to subtract the common X from each number.
