Factor 15xy-9x-5y+3

$15 x y - 9 x - 5 y + 3$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(15 x y - 9 x) - 5 y + 3$

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

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

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $5 y - 3$ .

$(5 y - 3) (3 x - 1)$
