Factoring is the reverse process of multiplication. It is
the process of finding the factors of an expression.
A polynomial is factored completely if each of its factors
can no longer be expressed as product of two other polynomials.
Here is the map of the lessons that will be covered in
this module.

The GCF of these three monomials is (3)(x)(x) = 3 𝒙 𝟐
Common monomial factoring is the process of writing a
polynomial as a product of two polynomials, one of which is a
monomial that factors each term of the polynomial.
To ensure that the polynomial is the prime polynomial, use
the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the terms of the given
polynomials.

Solution:
Express each as a product of prime factors.

Common Factors = 2 m m
The GCF of these two monomials is (2)(m)(m) = 𝟒𝒎 𝟐

GCF – The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the
largest factor that all the numbers or variables share.
Polynomial – an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that
involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
non-negative integer exponents of variables. Example: 2x +3y – 4xy
Monomial – an expression in algebra that contains one term, like 3xy
Factors – a number or algebraic expression that divides another
number or expression evenly with no remainder. Ex. The factors of 6 is
2 and 3 because (2) (3)= 9.

A fraction is reduced to its lowest terms, when its
numerator and denominator have no common factors.
Observe the steps:
1. List the prime factors of the numerator
and denominator.
2. Find the factors common to both the numerator and
denominator.
3. Divide the numerator and denominator by all common
factors called CANCELLING.
Example 1:
To factor
polynomials w/

Now, you are ready to find the factor of polynomials with
common monomial.
Observe and analyze the steps:
1. Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in
the polynomial. This is the first factor.
2. Divide each term by the GCF to get the other factor.

Factoring the difference of two squares is one of the
common types of factoring a problem that is very easy to identify.
The factors of the difference between two squares
are the product of the sum and difference of two
numbers.
To factor the Difference of
Two Squares:
1. Get the principal square
root of each squares.
2. Using these square roots, form
two factors, one a sum and the
other a difference.
But first, let us have a short review in getting the
square root of a number and variable. Observe and analyze
the pattern and method, then answer the following.

The sum and difference of two cubes is a special
case in factoring polynomials.
A polynomial in the form a 3 + b 3 is called a sum of
cubes. A polynomial in the form a 3 – b 3 is called
a difference of cubes.

patterns:

Factoring Perfect Square

To factor a perfect
square trinomial,
you should know
how to get the
square roots of a
number or variable.
Examples:
√9 = 3 since 3*3= 9
√𝑚2 = 𝑚 since
m*m = 𝑚2
𝒂 𝟐

= ( a + b ) ( a + b ) = (𝒂 + 𝒃 ) 𝟐
𝒂 𝟐

Step 1
Get the square root of each term.
First Term: √𝒎 𝟐 = m
Third Term: √𝟏𝟔 = 4
Step 2
Using m and 4, form the
sum ( m + 4) and (m + 4)
Thus, 𝑚2

Get the square root of

Take note that the pattern you have learned is
a short cut method in factoring trinomials.
Remember when you solve (7x – 4y )(7x – 4y) using the
FOIL Method, you will get the product of 𝟒𝟗𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟓𝟔𝒙𝒚 + 𝟏𝟔𝒚 𝟐
.
This pattern can only apply if 1st and third term is both perfect
square and the middle term is twice the product of square roots of
first term and third term.
Step 1
Get the square root of each term.
First Term: √𝒓 𝟐 = r
Third Term: √𝟔𝟒 = 8
You just noticed that the
operation used is now
subtraction because the
2nd
term of the trinomial
𝒓 𝟐
− 𝟏𝟔𝒓 + 𝟔𝟒 is - 16r
or in minus sign.
Therefore, the operation
used in binomial
(𝒓 − 𝟖 ) 𝟐
is minus sign.
Step 2
Using r and 8, form the
difference ( r – 8 ) and (r – 8)
Thus, 𝑟2
− 16𝑟 + 16 =
(r - 8 ) (r - 8) =
(𝑟 − 8 )2

In factoring Non-Perfect Square Trinomial,
consider to determine the factors of the leading (square) term; the
factors of the last (constant) term may be combined to find the
coefficient of the middle term.
Trinomials of the form 𝑥2
+ bx + c are the products of two
binomials. Observe how the last term and the middle term of the
resulting trinomial are generated.
To factor trinomial, reverse the FOIL process.

To get the value of x in (
x – 20) = 0, transpose -20 to
other side into its opposite
sign. Like this, x = 20. From
negative 20, it becomes
positive 20.
Given:
Area = 𝑥2 − 35𝑥 + 300
Formula:
(Length)(width)=Area
Solution:
Factor
𝑥2 − 35𝑥 + 300 = 0
(x – 20) (x -15) = 0
x – 20 = 0 x – 15 = 0
x = 20 x = 15
Conclusion:
The length of the
pool is 20 m and its
width is 15 m.

Factoring Polynomials in Modular Approach

  • 1. Math Explorer: With Scaffolding Approach toward Independent Learning
  • 2. Factoring is the reverse process of multiplication. It is the process of finding the factors of an expression. A polynomial is factored completely if each of its factors can no longer be expressed as product of two other polynomials. Here is the map of the lessons that will be covered in this module. Factoring PolynomialsModule 1 At the end of this module, the learners will: 1. factor completely different types of polynomials 2. find factors of product of polynomials 3. solve problems involving factors of polynomials.

  • 3. Module 1 The GCF of these three monomials is (3)(x)(x) = 3 𝒙 𝟐 Common monomial factoring is the process of writing a polynomial as a product of two polynomials, one of which is a monomial that factors each term of the polynomial. To ensure that the polynomial is the prime polynomial, use the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the terms of the given polynomials. 1. Find the GCF of 4𝒎 𝟐 and 𝟏𝟎𝒎 𝟒 . Solution: Express each as a product of prime factors. 4𝒎 𝟐 = 2 (2) m m 𝟏𝟎𝒎 𝟒 = (5) 2 m m (m) (m) Common Factors = 2 m m The GCF of these two monomials is (2)(m)(m) = 𝟒𝒎 𝟐 2. Find the GCF of 𝟔𝒙 𝟒 , 9𝒙 𝟐 y, and 𝟏𝟓𝒙 𝟓 𝒚.

Solution: Express each as a product of prime factors. 𝟐𝟎𝒃 𝟒 𝒄 = 5𝒃 𝟐 c = 𝟏𝟓𝒃 𝟑 𝒄 = Common Factors = Math Guro GCF – The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the largest factor that all the numbers or variables share. Polynomial – an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. Example: 2x +3y – 4xy Monomial – an expression in algebra that contains one term, like 3xy Factors – a number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly with no remainder.

First Term: √𝒓 𝟐 = r Third Term: √𝟔𝟒 = 8 You just noticed that the operation used is now subtraction because the 2nd term of the trinomial 𝒓 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟔𝒓 + 𝟔𝟒 is - 16r or in minus sign. Therefore, the operation used in binomial (𝒓 − 𝟖 ) 𝟐 is minus sign. Step 2 Using r and 8, form the difference ( r – 8 ) and (r – 8) Thus, 𝑟2 − 16𝑟 + 16 = (r - 8 ) (r - 8) = (𝑟 − 8 )2 Step 1 Get the square root of each term. First Term: Third Term: Step 2 Answer: (7𝑥 − 4𝑦 )2 Why? Step 1 Get the square root of each term. First Term: Third Term: Step 2

  • 18. In factoring Non-Perfect Square Trinomial, consider to determine the factors of the leading (square) term; the factors of the last (constant) term may be combined to find the coefficient of the middle term. Trinomials of the form 𝑥2 + bx + c are the products of two binomials. Observe how the last term and the middle term of the resulting trinomial are generated. To factor trinomial, reverse the FOIL process. 1. 𝒙 𝟐 + 5x + 6 = (x + ___) (x + ___) Lesson 5 Factoring Non-Perfect Square Trinomials (x + 2) (x + 3) = 𝒙 𝟐 + 3x + 2x + 6 = 𝒙 𝟐 + 5x + 6 F O I L Sum of 2 & 3 Product of 2 & 3 (x + 4) (x + 5) = ___+___+ ___+__ = ___+___+___ F O I L Sum of 2 & 3 Product of 2 & 3 Find two numbers that when you multiply the result is 6 and when you add, the result is 5.

  • 23. Have you wondered how the architect was able to maximize the space of building and was able to place all the stuffs the owners want? Or how a carpenter was able to create a utility box using minimal materials? This lesson will help you solve real-life problems that applied all the factoring techniques you have learned in this module. 1. The area of a rectangular pool is 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟑𝟓𝒙 + 300. Find the length and the width of the swimming pool. 2. The area of the floor of a house miniature is 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟓𝒙 + 50. Find the length and the width of the floor. Lesson 6 Problems Involving Factors of Polynomials To get the value of x in ( x – 20) = 0, transpose -20 to other side into its opposite sign. Like this, x = 20. From negative 20, it becomes positive 20. Given: Area = 𝑥2 − 35𝑥 + 300 Formula: (Length)(width)=Area Solution: Factor 𝑥2 − 35𝑥 + 300 = 0 (x – 20) (x -15) = 0 x – 20 = 0 x – 15 = 0 x = 20 x = 15 Conclusion: The length of the pool is 20 m and its width is 15 m.
