Find the greatest common factor for the expression. 2x(4x-2)-3(4x-2)

Question

Find the greatest common factor for the expression.


`2x(4x-2)-3(4x-2)`

Answer 1

The greatest common factor (gcf) is 2.

Explanation:

If we distribute the 2x and the -3 using FOIL we get:

8x²-16x+6

The gcf that we can take from this equation is 2.

so the final equation is:

2(4x²-8x+3)

Making the gcf 2.
