Benjamin Cochran · Answer 1

Given:

36x³ - 22x² - 144x

GCF:

36 : 2 = 18

18 : 2 = 9

9 : 3 = 3

22 : 2 = 11

144 : 2 = 72

72 : 2 = 36

36 : 2 = 18

18 : 2 = 9

9 : 3 = 3

2 is the GCF of all terms. We can add 24. It would not change the GCF of the polynomial.

36x³ - 22x² - 144x + 24

2 (18x³ - 11x² - 72x + 12)
