Question

@Mathematics
factor out the GCF from the polynomial
1/6x^7+5/6x^4-7/6x^6+1/6x

Answer 1

looks like common factor is
\[\frac{1}{6}x\]

Answer 2

but how do you find it?

Answer 3

\[\frac{1}{6}x^7+\frac{5}{6}x^4-\frac{7}{6}x^6+\frac{1}{6}x\]
\[\frac{1}{6}x(x^6+5x^3-7x^5+1)\]

Answer 4

well each term has a 6 in the denominator, and every term has an x in it, so you can "factor it out"

Answer 5

oh okay i get it now thank you so much
