Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial.

6t^2+4

1 answer

To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the polynomial \(6t^2 + 4\), we first identify the GCF of the coefficients 6 and 4. The GCF of 6 and 4 is 2.

Now, we can factor out 2 from the polynomial:

\[ 6t^2 + 4 = 2(3t^2 + 2) \]

So, the factored form of the polynomial is:

\[ 2(3t^2 + 2) \]
