Lesson: The Greatest Common Factor of Monomials Mathematics

Students will be able to

• find the greatest common factor of a given list of monomials and understand how to find the greatest common factor in general,
• use the greatest common factor of the terms of a polynomial to completely factor the polynomial,
• use a given greatest common factor of a given list of monomials or the terms of a polynomial to find unknown values,
• factor a polynomial completely in a real-world scenario and use the factored form to solve a problem.
