Question

1. the largest factor that can exactly divide each term of a polynomial is called the _____________.
2. the algebraic technique used to simplify polynomials by finding the gcf is known as _____________.

Explanation:

1. This is the standard term for the largest divisor of all polynomial terms.
2. This technique isolates the GCF to rewrite and simplify the polynomial.

Answer:

1. Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
2. Factoring out the GCF
