Factor by Grouping 4ac+2ad+2bc+bd

$4 a c + 2 a d + 2 b c + b d$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(4 a c + 2 a d) + 2 b c + b d$

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

$2 a (2 c + d) + b (2 c + d)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $2 c + d$ .

$(2 c + d) (2 a + b)$
