1. GCF - you can read more here http://www.purplemath.com/modules/lcm_gcf.htm

252 - factors = 2 x 2 x 3 x3 x7

468 - factors = 2x2x3x3x13

GCF = 2X2X3X3 =36

2. 35Y +14 = 7(5Y+2)

3. 7 a ^6 b ^7 c^ 5 - 35 a ^7 b ^5 c ^6 = 7a^6b^5c^5(b^2 -5ac)

4. 2(x + y) - 19 t(x + y).

= (x+y) (2-19t)

5. 17 x ^2 + 17 x y + 2 x + ...
