Answer:

17a(a - 1)

Explanation:

Factorizing an expression:

To factorize an algebraic expression, find the HCF of the terms. Then, take out the common factors from the two terms.

17a² = 17 * a * a

17a = 17 * a

HCF = 17*a

= 17a

17a² - 17a = 17a*a - 17a * 1

= 17a* (a - 1)

Answer: 17a*(a - 1)
