1. Factor each term and mark the 1.
common factors. There are common
factors for the group including the
first two terms and separate common
factors for the group including the
last two terms.
2. Multiply the common factors in each 2.
group to find the GCFs.
3. Factor the GCF out of the first two 3.
terms and the GCF out of the second
two terms.
4. Use the distributive property to factor 4.
out the common binomial factor and
multiply the combination of the GCFs
by that binomial facto
