To factor −27h + 6 using the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), we need to find the largest number or term that divides both −27h and 6.
Step 1: Find the GCF of the coefficients, -27 and 6. The GCF of 27 and 6 is 3.
Step 2: Check if the variable h is common to both terms. In this case, h is present in both terms.
Step 3: Combine the GCF with the variable h and put it outside parentheses.
Therefore, the factored form of −27h + 6 using the GCF is 3(−9h + 2).
