Hello.

In order to factor an expression, we need to find the common term and divide all terms in the expression by this common term.

Let's take a look at our expression and see if we can spot the common term and factor it out.

Our expression is:


\mathrm{3g-12h+15}

Is there anything in common? Yes, sure.

All terms have a 3 in common, so we divide all terms in the expression by 3:


\mathrm{3g-12h+15}\\\mathrm{g-4h+5}

Therefore, the final answer is


\mathrm{g-4h+5}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
