Factor 12xy-28x-15y+35

$12 x y - 28 x - 15 y + 35$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(12 x y - 28 x) - 15 y + 35$

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

$4 x (3 y - 7) - 5 (3 y - 7)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $3 y - 7$ .

$(3 y - 7) (4 x - 5)$
