Given the numerical expression : -9y^2 +6y

Find the Greatest Common Factor.

In order to do so, we must take a look if they have a common variable. It can be seen that y^2 and y has a common variable y.

Next we take a look at the numerical coefficients. 9 and 6 are both factorable by 3.

In summarization the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression -9y^2 + 6y is 3y, by taking the common factors of each variable.

If we take the greatest common factor, the equation will become,

= 3y(-3y + 2)
