Factor 5x^4y-10x^2y^2

$5 x^{4} y - 10 x^{2} y^{2}$

Step 1

Factor $5 x^{2} y$ out of $5 x^{4} y$ .

$5 x^{2} y (x^{2}) - 10 x^{2} y^{2}$

Step 2

Factor $5 x^{2} y$ out of $- 10 x^{2} y^{2}$ .

$5 x^{2} y (x^{2}) + 5 x^{2} y (- 2 y)$

Step 3

Factor $5 x^{2} y$ out of $5 x^{2} y (x^{2}) + 5 x^{2} y (- 2 y)$ .

$5 x^{2} y (x^{2} - 2 y)$
