Factoring using Distributive Property and GCF

Recall that the distributive property states that ab+ac=a(b+c). The distributive property allows you to factor out the GCF of the terms of a polynomial to write a factored form of the polynomial.

A polynomial is in its factored form when it is written as a product of monomials and polynomials that cannot be factored further.
