Answer:

Explanation:

To factor out a GCF from a polynomial we first need to identify the GCF of all the terms, this is the part that goes in front of the parenthesis, then we divide each term by the GCF, the answer is what is left inside the parenthesis. This is shown in the following examples Example 3. 4x2−20x+16 4x2 −20x16GCF is4, divide each term by4
