Grade 8 – Mathematics

Quarter I
FACTORING POLYNOMIALS
Objectives:
• find the greatest common factor (GCF)
by listing or prime factorization;
• factor polynomials completely with
common monomial factor; and
• use distributive property to factor
polynomials.
• Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
• Prime factors
• Monomial

• Polynomial
• Standard Form
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
- refers to the common factor having the
greatest numerical factor and with
variables having the least degree.
Example: 6𝑥 and 15𝑥
2 4

6: 1, 2, 3, 6, 𝑥2 6𝑥 : (2)∙(3)∙(𝑥 )
2 2

15: 1, 3, 5, 15, 𝑥 4 15𝑥 : (3)∙(5)∙(𝑥 )

GCF: 3𝑥 2
GCF: 3𝑥 2
Find the GCF of each pair of monomials.
1. 6a and 18ab 2. 10a and 12𝑎 b 2

6a: (2)∙(3)∙(a) 10a: (2)∙(5)∙(a)


18ab: (2)∙(3)∙(3)∙(a)∙(b) 12𝑎2 b: (2)∙(2)∙(3)∙(𝑎2 )∙(b)

= (2)∙(3)∙(a) = (2)∙(a)
GCF is 6a GCF is 2a
Find the GCF of each pair of monomials.
3. −8𝑥 y and 16xy

16xy: (2)∙(2)∙(2)∙(2)∙(x)∙(y) 10𝑎2 𝑏2 :(2)∙(5)∙(𝑎2 )∙(𝑏2 )


= (2)∙(2)∙(2)∙(x)∙(y) = (2)∙(a)∙(𝑏 )2

GCF is 8xy GCF is 2a𝑏 2


FACTORING POLYNOMIAL
- rewriting a polynomial as a product of
polynomials of smaller degree.
POLYNOMIAL GCF FACTORED FORM
4𝑥 + 6x

2x 2x(2x + 3)
3𝑥 + 6x

3x 3x(x + 2)
6𝑥 - 14𝑥
4 2
2𝑥 2 2𝑥 (3𝑥 - 7)
2 2
4𝑥 + 6x = 2x(2x) + 2x(3)
2 Use GCF to rewrite the
polynomial

= 2x(2x + 3) Use the distributive property

3𝑥 + 6x = 3x(x) + 3x(2)
2 Use GCF to rewrite the
polynomial

= 3x(x + 2) Use the distributive property


6𝑥 - 14𝑥 = 2𝑥 (3𝑥 ) - 2𝑥 (7)
4 2 2 2 2

= 2𝑥 (3𝑥 - 7)
2 2

7a(a+3) - c(a+3) 8m(n+3) + p(n+3)

(a + 3)(7a – c) (n + 3)(8m + p)
4(3b-1) + 5a(1-3b) + 4c(3b-1)

4(3b-1) - 5a(-1+3b) + 4c(3b-1)

4(3b-1) - 5a(3b-1) + 4c(3b-1)

(3b-1) (4 - 5a + 4c)
