Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

The largest expression that divides evenly into all terms of a polynomial.

Factoring

To rewrite a polynomial as a product of its factors. Reverse of expanding.

Dividing Polynomials by Monomials

Divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial, using exponent rules.

Factoring x^2 + bx + c

A polynomial of the form x^2 + bx + c can be factored into (x + p)(x + q), where p + q = b and p * q = c.
