Factor 16ax-y+2ay-8x

$16 a x - y + 2 a y - 8 x$

Step 1

Reorder terms.

$16 a x + 2 a y - 8 x - y$

Step 2

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(16 a x + 2 a y) - 8 x - y$

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

$2 a (8 x + y) - (8 x + y)$

Step 3

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $8 x + y$ .

$(8 x + y) (2 a - 1)$
