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

18g–8

1 answer

To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) of the polynomial \( 18g - 8 \), we first need to identify the GCF of the coefficients 18 and 8.

The factors of 18 are: \( 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 \)
The factors of 8 are: \( 1, 2, 4, 8 \)

The highest common factor is \( 2 \).

Now we can factor out the GCF from the polynomial:

\[ 18g - 8 = 2(9g - 4) \]

So, the factored form of the polynomial is:

\[ 2(9g - 4) \]
