    Find the highest common factor of each of the following pairs of terms:
    3a and 6a 4ef and 8fg
    The factors of 3a are: 3, a The factors of 4ef are: 2, 4, e, f
    The factors of 6a are: 2, 3, 6, a The factors of 6a are: 2, 4, 8, f, g

    The highest common factor = 3a The highest common factor = 4f

    Exercise 3.13
    Factorise the following algebraic expressions:
    2 + 4x = 2×1 + 2×2x 4m + 12mn = 4m×1 + 4m×3n
    = 2(1 + 2x) = 4m(1 + 3n) = 2b(3 – 5a)

    Check: Check: Check:


    2(1 + 2x) = 2 + 4x 4m(1 + 3n) = 4m + 12mn
