The greatest common factor (GCF) of 3x and 6 is 3. To factor out the GCF, you divide each term by the GCF. So, 3x ÷ 3 = x and 6 ÷ 3 = 2. Therefore, the factored out GCF of 3x and 6 is 3(x + 2).

The GCF of 3 and 6 is 3.
The GCF of 3x and 6 is 3.
If that's 3x + 6, it factors to 3(x + 2)
3x
The Greatest Common Factor is 3.
3X
I take this to be 3x3 - 21x2 + 36x. I notice that 3x is a factor common to all three terms. Let me remove that first. 3x ( x2 - 7x + 12 ) "By inspection" I can make up the two factors in the parenthesised part. 3x ( x - 4 ) ( x - 3 )
The GCF is 3x.
