2 to the third power x2=highest common factor of 100 and 96=16
To factorize a third degree polynomial you need to find the common factor and then group the common terms in order to solve. If no common factor, find the first factor and it becomes a matter of trial and error. The easiest way to do this is to use a graphing calculator.
4x
4c
The only common factor of those two terms is the number three, giving you: 3(x3 - 8y3)
6x3
3x
Take the greatest common factor of the first two numbers - for example, using Euclid's algorithm. Then take the greatest common factor of the result, and the third number, etc.
You need at least two terms to find a GCF.
The GCF is 2x.
The GCF is a^2b
The possibilities are infinite. One set: 1. 2xy 2. 2x2y 3. 2x4y
