Directions: Factor the following expressions

1. Find the GCF of the following:

a) xy, y2x, x2y

b) x2, x3, x3

c) y2(2y - 1), 3(2y - 1)
2. Identify the missing factors:

d) 20 = (4) (?)

e) -14x = (7)(?)

f) x3 =x2 (?)
3. Factor by identifying a common factor in each term.

g) 6xy2 = (3x) (?)

h) 25a3b2 = (5a2b2) (?)
i) 6x + 6y + 6p
4. Factor:

j) x(x+2) + y (x + 2) - 5(x + 2)

k) 5y2 - 10y3

l) ax + ay + az
5. Factor:

m) yx(y+1) + 4x(y + 1) - 5(y + 1)
n) 6p2 - 3p3
o) 4x4 + 2x
