    SUMMARY

    TO FACTOR POLYNOMIALS WITH A COMMON MONOMIAL FACTOR:

    1. Find the common numerical coefficient (always express the numerical coefficient in prime factored form);

    2. Find the common literal coefficient. (always choose the common variable with the least exponent)

    3. Factor out the CMF using DPMA or Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition.
