Explanation:

To factor out a term from an expression

means to extract that term. as the

greatest common factor, from all the

terms in the expression.

This is the other way of using the

distributive property of multiplication

not to calculate the product, but to write

an expression as a product.

Example 6xy- 25x

Since the greatest common factor of the

terms is a, we can factor it out from both

terms:

X(6y - 25)
