Sagot :
You have to find the greatest common factor first.
To do so, do as follows:
[tex]6x^4-42x^3+12x^2[/tex]Factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, 6
Factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
The greates common factor is the greatest common factor shared by all values, in this case is 6
Now to factor it out you have to divide each term of the equation by it.
[tex](\frac{6x^4}{6})=x^4[/tex][tex](\frac{42x^3}{6})=7x^3[/tex][tex](\frac{12x^2}{6})=2x^2[/tex]The expression with the GCF factorized is then:
[tex]6(x^4-7x^3+2x^2)[/tex]
