Factor GCF of 5x^2-10x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factorize it by taking 5x common..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GCF is the Greatest Common Factor that you can take common out of any polynomial.. Here you can take 5x common so it is the GCF...

OpenStudy (ledah):

does that mean I would multiply each side by 5x? or divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simply take common meaning using the distributive property you get: \[5x(x - 2)\] So, here \(5x\) is the \(\color{green}{GCF}\)..
