it depends on the power of the leading coefficient, and that is not always a great indication because polynomials can have non real numbers.
A factor of a polynomial is where the function crosses the x axis.
If the trinomial will not factor into real numbers, then there are not any real zeros but there are still factors.
Think of this one x^2+6x+14. this will not factor into real numbers, but complex solutions. But these complex solutions are factors, so the rule still holds.
If the trinomial is a cubic, or at a odd power, then its a odd function, and can have one real solution.
If the trinomial is squared, or any even power, its a even function and can have two real solutions.
With the graph you can determine it this way:
if p(x) is a polynomial function of degree n, then the graph has at most n-1 turning points.
If the graph of a function P has n-1 turning points, then the degree of p(x) is at least n.

What is the greatest common factor of 196 and 1078?
196: 2-2-2-2-11 1078: 2-7-7-11 Greatest common factor: 22 Method(s) used: # The method to find the greatest common factor of numbers is to find the prime factorizations of each one, select all matching prime factors, and then multiply. # An alternative method is to find all of the factors of each, and then select the greatest number that appears in each list. # The final method only applies to some numbers; if one of the number is a factor of the other, then that number is the greatest common factor. This is because all numbers are factors of themselves, and that is their greatest factor. If it is also a factor of the other number, then it is definitely the greatest common factor.
What is the greatest common fraction?
That's a misrepresentation of the term "greatest common factor," or GCF, which is the largest number that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a set of two or more given numbers.
what is the largest factor that two numbers share is called?
The greatest common factor (GCF) of two (or more) numbers is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. To find the GCF you must work out and list the prime factors of each of the numbers. You will see that the numbers have prime factors in common. Multiply those factors the numbers have in common together and this gives you the GCF for the numbers. eg Number A = 18, Prime factors = 2*3*3 Number B = 24, Prime factors = 2*2*2*3 The Prime factors that A and B have in common are 2 and 3 Multiply them together = 6 6= the GCF of 18 and 24
What is the greatest common divisor of 21?
21, for a common factor you would need more than 1 number ex: gcf between 21 and 14? 7
What is the greatest common factor of each group of numbers 39 52 91?
The GCF is 13.
What is the greatest number that is a factor of each of two or more numbers?
That's known as the Greatest Common Factor, or GCF.
If the greatest common factor of two numbers is 36 what are some of the prime numbers of each number?
2 and 3
What are the common factors and greatest common factor of 74270?
To have a common factor, two or more numbers must be factored and the largest factor that occurs in each number is the greatest common factor.
The greatest common factor of 42 and 86?
OK you list all the factors of each number and what ever number is the greatest and the same in both numbers that is the Greatest Common Factor Glad I could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the greatest common factor of 121 and 132?

Is the greatest common factor how many of each type?
No. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that is in common with the numbers you are given.
Can two odd numbers have a greatest common factor that is an even number?
No. Because both numbers are even, they each have 2 as a factor. Even if they have a larger factor in common, it will be a multiple of 2, so the greatest common factor will be an even number.Yes. Two even numbers are each divisible by 2. The GCF must therefore always have two as one of its factors; this makes it even.
What is the greatest common factor of 2 or more prime numbers?
As the numbers are all prime, the only factors each of them has are 1 and the number itself. Therefore the greatest, and only, common factor of two of more prime numbers is 1.
Name three pairs of numbers that have 5 as their greatest common factor use each number once in your answer?

How do you find the greatest factor for a set of numbers?
The greatest factor of a set of numbers is the greatest number in the set. It will be a factor of itself. It will not be a factor of the other numbers in the set but that is not what the question requires.To find the greatest COMMON factor, find the prime factorisation of each number.Multiply together each prime factor raised to the lowest power is any of the numbers.That product is the greatest common factor.
