Find the Greatest Common Factor in 7x-63. The GCF is 7 so 7 gets placed first and outside of the parentheses such as 7( ) now...what does that leave behind, it leaves behind an 'x' and -63. Can 7 go into x? No. Can 7 go into 63? Yes! 9 times! Now you continue filling in the parentheses. Since x didn't go into the 7, you simply place the x on the left side (inside the parentheses) and the -9 on the right side (inside the parentheses) For Example.... 7(x-9). That's all there is to it!
