A Greatest Common Factor is the factor of two terms with the highest value.

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two terms.

Factors of $4m$ : $4$ $times m$

Factors of $28$ : $4$ $times7$

Both terms have $4$ as their factor, so it is the GCF.

Finally, factor by placing $4$ outside a bracket.

Also, place the given polynomial inside the bracket with each term divided by $4$ , then simplify.

$4[(4mdiv4)-(28div4)]$

$=$ $4(m-7)$

$4(m-7)$

A Greatest Common Factor is the factor of two terms with the highest value.

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two terms.

Factors of $5x$ : $5$ $times x$

Factors of $35y$ : $5$ $times7timesy$

Both terms have $5$ as their factor, so it is the GCF.

Finally, factor by placing $5$ outside a bracket.

Also, place the given polynomial inside the bracket with each term divided by $5$ , then simplify.

$5[(5xdiv5)-(35ydiv5)]$

$=$ $5(x-7y)$

$5(x-7y)$

A Greatest Common Factor is the factor of two terms with the highest value.

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two terms.

Factors of $a^2$ : $a$ $times a$

Factors of $5a$ : $5times$ $a$

Both terms have $a$ as their factor, so it is the GCF.

Finally, factor by placing $a$ outside a bracket.

Also, place the given polynomial inside the bracket with each term divided by $a$ , then simplify.

$a[(a^2diva)+(5adiva)]$

$=$ $a(a+5)$

$a(a+5)$

A Greatest Common Factor is the factor of two terms with the highest value.

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two terms.

Factors of $35x$ : $5times$ $7$ $times x$

Factors of $42$ : $7$ $times6$

Both terms have $7$ as their factor, so it is the GCF.

Finally, factor by placing $7$ outside a bracket.

Also, place the given polynomial inside the bracket with each term divided by $7$ , then simplify.

$7[(35xdiv7)+(42div7)]$

$=$ $7(5x+6)$

$7(5x+6)$

A Greatest Common Factor is the factor of two terms with the highest value.

First, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two terms.

Factors of $40$ : $8$ $times5$

Factors of $72a$ : $8$ $times9timesa$

Both terms have $8$ as their factor, so it is the GCF.

Finally, factor by placing $8$ outside a bracket.

Also, place the given polynomial inside the bracket with each term divided by $8$ , then simplify.

$8[(40div8)+(72adiv8)]$

$=$ $8(5+9a)$

$8(5+9a)$
