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

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

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

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

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

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

Step 2

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

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