Use the method Factor by Grouping to factor a four-term polynomial.

Step 1:Factor out the GCF from all four terms

Note: For any factoring problem, always factor out the GCF from all terms first.
Step 2:Group the first two terms and the last two terms. Factor out the GCF from each group of terms.
Step 3:Factor out the common binomial factor.
