The GCF is 7.
The GCF is 7.
The greatest common factor in the two terms is [ 4y ].The factored form of the expression is4y (y + 7x)
Factoring requires you to reduce as much as possible. To factor 7x + 49, you remove the common factor of 7x and 49, which is 7, and multiply (7x + 49)/7 (which is x + 7) by 7, without actually simplifying. 7x + 49 = 7(x + 7) Then, if possible, do the same thing until it cannot be further factored.
(7x + 8)(7x - 8)
