Quarter One: Patterns and Algebra
Topic: Factor of Polynomials
Let us recall the distributive property which state that if a, b, and c are real
numbers, then
𝑎𝑏 + 𝑎𝑐 = 𝑎(𝑏 + 𝑐)
If we keep the distributive property in mind, it will not be difficult to factor a
polynomial having a common monomial factor like 2𝑥3
+ 𝑥2
− 7𝑥.
We can easily observe that the three terms of 2𝑥3
+ 𝑥2
− 7𝑥 have the common factor
𝑥. That is,
2𝑥3
+ 𝑥2
− 7𝑥 = (2𝑥2)(𝑥) + (𝑥)(𝑥) − 7(𝑥)
Thus, according to the distributive property, we may write this as
2𝑥3
+ 𝑥2
− 7𝑥 = (2𝑥2)(𝑥) + (𝑥)(𝑥) − 7(𝑥)
2𝑥3
+ 𝑥2
− 7𝑥 = 𝑥(2𝑥2
+ 𝑥 − 7)
Let’s Try!
a. 10𝑥3
+ 9𝑥2
+ 4𝑥
b. 3𝑥6
+ 9𝑥4
+ 12𝑥2
A polynomial whose terms have a common monomial factor
may be factored by identifying this common factor and
applying the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Otherwise, Greatest Common Factor (GCF) may apply to ensure that the
polynomial factor is irreducible or a prime polynomial.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
The greatest common factor is the largest integer, monomial, or
multinomial that a set of numbers or polynomial have in
common.
For instance, Find the GCF of 12𝑥3
𝑦2
, 8𝑥𝑦2
, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 4𝑥2
𝑦2
.
Solution:
Express each as a product of prime factors.
12𝑥3
𝑦2
= 2 • 2 • 3 • x • x • x • y • y
8𝑥𝑦2
= 2 • 2 • 3 • x • y • y
4𝑥2
𝑦2
= 2 • 2 • x • x • y • y
2 2 x y y
The GCF of these three monomials is 2 • 2 • x • y • y = 4𝑥𝑦2
.
Notice that the degree of the GCF is equal to or less than the degree of the
expression with the lowest degree.
Let’s Try!
a. Find the GCF of 24𝑎2
𝑏3
𝑐3
, 30𝑎3
𝑏𝑐4
, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 48𝑎𝑏2
𝑐2
.
Factoring is the reverse process of multiplication. When a number or a polynomial
is factored, it is written as a product of two or more factors. A polynomial is said to be
factored into prime factors if it expresses as the product of two or more irreducible or
prime polynomials of the same type.
A polynomial is factored completely if each of its factors can no longer be
expressed as a product of two other polynomials of lower degree and that the
coefficients have no common factors without introducing a fraction, 1 or -1. If each
term of a polynomials is divisible by the same monomial, this monomial is referred to as
a Common Monomial Factor.
Common Monomial Factoring
1. Find the greatest common factors (GCF) of the terms in the
polynomials. This is the first factor.
2. Divide each term by the GCF to get the other factor.

Common Monomial Factor

Week 1:
Mathematics 8
Let’s recall the special pattern 𝑎2
− 𝑏2
, which is the result when the sum of two
terms is multiplied by the difference of the same two terms. In other words, when the
two binomials have the form (𝑎 + 𝑏) and (𝑎 − 𝑏), you can easily get the product as
(𝑎2
− 𝑏2) which is the difference of 2 perfect squares.
For example, (𝑥 + 5)(𝑥 − 5) = 𝑥2
− 25. Therefore, whenever you encounter a
binomial that has the form 𝑎2
− 𝑏2
, you can do the reverse process where in the given
terms are both perfect squares.
Say,
𝑥2
− 25 = (𝑥)2
− (5)2
= (𝑥 + 5)(𝑥 − 5)
Factoring the Difference of two squares is a special type of factoring, a problem that
is often used in mathematics
trinomials).

Introduction
Factors of Difference of Two Squares
1. Get the principal square root of each of the two squares.
2. Using these square roots, form two factors: a sum and a
difference.

Week 1:
Mathematics 8
This pattern can be generalized as follows:
A binomial that is the difference between two squares, 𝑎2
− 𝑏2
,
for any real numbers, a and b, can be factored as the product
of the sum (𝑎 + 𝑏) and the difference (𝑎 − 𝑏) of the terms that
are being squared:
𝑎2
− 𝑏2
= (𝑎 + 𝑏) (𝑎 − 𝑏)
Examples 1. Factor the following polynomials
a. 𝑥2
− 36
b. 4𝑎2
− 9𝑏2
Solution:
a. 𝑥2
− 36
𝑥2 − 36 = (𝑥)2 − (6)2 , therefore, a=x and b=6
𝑎2
− 𝑏2
= (𝑎 + 𝑏) (𝑎 − 𝑏) use difference of two squares pattern
𝑥2
− 62
= (𝑥 + 6) (𝑥 − 6), by substitution
𝑥2
− 36 = (𝑥 + 6) (𝑥 − 6)
b. 4𝑎2
− 9𝑏2
4𝑎2
− 9𝑏2
= (2𝑎)2
− (3𝑏)2
, therefore, a=2a and b=3b
𝑎2
− 𝑏2
= (𝑎 + 𝑏) (𝑎 − 𝑏) use difference of two squares pattern
(2𝑎)2
− (3𝑏)2
= (2𝑎 + 3𝑏) (2𝑎 − 3𝑏), by substitution
4𝑎2
− 9𝑏2
= (2𝑎 + 3𝑏) (2𝑎 − 3𝑏)
Give the square root of each.
