4 X -1 = -4 4 has the factors 1 , 4 and 2 and -2 as each will divide equally into 4 Not sure whether -1 only has -1 as a factor, I think it does as no negative number produces a negative result. -2 * -2 = 4 agreed. So I think the final answer is 1 , 2 , 4 , -2 and - 1 Regards, John O. Somewhere in the U.K.

(2x-1)(2x-1) = 4x^2 -4x + 1
The greatest common factor of 36 and 9 is 9. Therefore, we can factor out a 9 from the expression 36x + 9 to simplify it. This gives us 9(4x + 1) as the expression in terms of the greatest common factor.
4x^(2) - 8x '4' is common to both '4' & '8' . So tak outr '4'. Hence 4(x^(2) - 2x) Inside the brackets 'x' is common to both 'x^(2) & '2x'. So take out 'x'. Hence 4x(x - 2) Done , fully factored.
(4x+1)(4x-3)
16x2 + 8x + 1 - 9y2 = (4x + 1)2 - (3y)2 which is a difference of two squares. = (4x + 1 + 3y)*(4x + 1 - 3y)
