Question

Factor out the gcf

-240c^2+ 30c^5+ 18c^4

Answer 1

6c^2(-40 + 5c^3 + 3c^2)

Explanation:

These three terms have the common factor c^2. Thus:

-240c^2+ 30c^5+ 18c^4 = c^2(-240+ 30c^3+ 18c^2).

Recognizing that 6 is common to all three terms inside the parentheses, we get:

6c^2(-40 + 5c^3 + 3c^2) This is as far as factoring of this expression can be taken.
