Question

factor out the greatest common factor. if the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. \\(6s^3 - 12\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCF of coefficients

Find GCF of 6 and 12. Factors of 6: 1,2,3,6; Factors of 12:1,2,3,4,6,12. GCF is 6.

Step2: Factor out GCF

Factor 6 from \(6s^3 - 12\): \(6(s^3 - 2)\)

Answer:

\(6(s^3 - 2)\)
