Factor by Grouping 2x+16+xy+8y

$2 x + 16 + x y + 8 y$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

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

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

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

Step 2

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

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