Common Factoring: Find out the GREATEST COMMON FACTOR of each term and factor it out. Using Grouping: Sometimes‚ a polynomial will have no common factor for all the terms. Instead‚ we can group together the terms which have a common factor. When you use the Grouping Method: * When there is no factor common to all terms * When there is an even number of terms. Example: The polynomial x3+3x2−6x−18 has no single factor that is common to every term. However‚ we notice that if we group together
