Factor 4-2x-34y+17xy

$4 - 2 x - 34 y + 17 x y$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(4 - 2 x) - 34 y + 17 x y$

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

$2 (2 - x) - 17 y (2 - x)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $2 - x$ .

$(2 - x) (2 - 17 y)$
