Question

factor out the greatest common factor. if the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. 24a^7 + 12a^3 + 12

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCF of coefficients

The coefficients are 24, 12, 12. GCF of 24,12,12 is 12.

Step2: Check for common variable factor

There is no common variable factor (since the last term is 12 with no \(a\)).

Step3: Factor out GCF

Factor out 12 from each term: \(12(2a^{7}+a^{3} + 1)\)

Answer:

\(12(2a^{7}+a^{3}+1)\)
