Factoring a Monomial from a Polynomial
Chapter 5 Section 1
![Page 2: MTH 10905 Algebra Factoring a Monomial from a Polynomial Chapter 5 Section 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5a45e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Identify Factors
Factor an expression means to write the expression as a product of its factors
Factoring can be used to solve equations and perform operations on fractions.
Factoring is the reverse process of multiplying.

Identify Factors
Remember:
A term is parts that are added
For example: 2x – 3y – 52x + (-3y) + (-5)
A factor is variables that are multiplied
Therefore, if a • b = c then a and b are factors of c.

Identify Factors
Example: 3 • 5 = 15 3 and 5 are factors of 15
Example:x3 • x4 = x7
x3 and x4 are factors of x7
We general list only the positive factors, however, the negatives or opposites of each of these are also factors.

Example:x(x+2) = x2 + 2xx and (x + 2) are factors of x2 + 2x
Example:(x – 1)(x + 3) = x2 + 2x -3(x – 1) and (x + 3) are factors of x2 + 2x -

![Page 10: MTH 10905 Algebra Factoring a Monomial from a Polynomial Chapter 5 Section 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5a45e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Determine the GCFof Two or More Numbers
To factor we need to make use the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
If you are having trouble seeing the GCF you can start with a common factor and continuing pulling out the common factors until no common factors remain.
Remember that the GCF of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides into all the numbers
Example: GCF of 6 and 8 is 2
![Page 11: MTH 10905 Algebra Factoring a Monomial from a Polynomial Chapter 5 Section 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5a45e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Determine the GCFof Two or More Numbers
When the GCF is not easy to find we can find it by writing each number as a product of prime numbers.
Prime Number is an integer greater than 1 that has exactly two factors, itself and one.
The first 15 prime numbers are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47
![Page 12: MTH 10905 Algebra Factoring a Monomial from a Polynomial Chapter 5 Section 1.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5a45e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determine the GCFof Two or More Numbers
Positive integers greater than 1 that are not prime are called composite numbers.
The first 15 composite numbers are:
4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25
All even number greater than 2 are composite numbers.
The number 1 is called a unit. One is not a prime number and it is not a composite number.

Factor a Monomialfrom a Polynomial
Steps to Factor a Monomial from a Polynomial:
1. Determine the greatest common factor of all terms in the polynomial
2. Write each term as a product of the GCF and its other factors
3. Use the distributive property to factor out the GCF
Example: Factor 8y + 12 GCF = 2 • 2 = 4
8y + 12 = (4 • 2y) + (4 • 3) = 4(2y + 3)

Factor a Monomialfrom a Polynomial
Example: Factor 24x – 18 GCF = 6
24x – 18 = (6 • 4x) – (6 • 3) = 6(4x – 3)
To check the factoring process, multiply the factors using the distributive property. If the factoring is correct, the product will be the polynomial you start with.

IMPORTANT
Whenever you are factoring a polynomial by any method; the first step is to see if there are any common factors (other than 1) to all the terms in the polynomial. If yes, factor the GCF from each term using the distributive property.
