Common Monomial Factoring & Factoring by

Grouping

Name: Kenneth Ian Macky O. Espiña Grade & Section: 8-Generosity

A. Factor the following completely

1. 6y – 18 = 6(y-3)

2. 10x2 – 5x = 5x(2x-1)

3. m5n2 + mn = mn(m4n+1)

4. 8x3y4 + 4x2y4 = 4x2y4(2x+1)

5. – 9x5y2 + 12x3y5 = -3x3y2(3x2-4y3)

B. Factoring by Grouping

6. 7m3 + 7m2 + m + 1 = (7m3+m) + (7m2+1)

= m(7m2+1) + 1(7m2+1)

= (m+1) (7m2+1)

7. 10a3 + 25a + 4a2 + 10 = (10a3+4a2) + (25a+10)

= 2a2(5a+2) + 5(5a+2)
= (2a2+5) (5a+2)
8. 6ax – y + 2ay – 3x = (6ax-3x) (2ay-y)

=3x(2a-1) +y(2a-1)

=(3x+y) (2a-1)

9. 6ab + a2b – 6 – 3a = (6ab-9) + (a2b-3a)

= 6(ab-3) + a(ab-3)

It should be 9 not 6 = (6+a) (ab-3)

10. x2(x – 8) – 3(x – 8) = (x2-3) (x-8)
