Q1 - 1.1 - Common Monomial Factor

This document provides examples of factoring polynomials with a common monomial factor. It begins by defining factoring and polynomials. Examples are then given of factoring polynomials by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms, dividing each term by the GCF, and rewriting the factored form. The document compares the common monomial factoring method to the complete factorization method. It emphasizes determining the common variable and exponents in each term to find the GCF. Practice problems are provided to reinforce the process.

Lesson 1:

In this lesson, the learner is able to factor


polynomials with Common Monomial Factor.
(M8ALla-b-1)
Things to Process

Factoring is the reverse process of multiplication. It means


to rewrite or express the number/ expression as a product of
two or more numbers/ expressions.

Note: Polynomials are algebraic expressions whose variables have


positive integral exponents.
A monomial is a polynomial with only one term.
