factorize 3x^2-12x — step-by-step solution

Let's factor in

ℝ

3 x^{2} - 12 x

You can write the expression in factored form:

x \cdot (3 x - 12)

⇥Let's factorize in

ℝ

(3 x - 12)

⇥Factor out

3

, the greatest common divisor of the coefficients:

3 x - 12

3 \cdot (x - 4)

⇥Factor identified:

x - 4

▷The factor

(3 x - 12)

factors as:

3 \cdot (x - 4)

ⓘ Factor out the common factor
