Kaylah Oneal · Answer 1

As you can see, p is present in each term. You may factor that out. You want to factor out the most common factor that is seen in each term.

p (4 + q + 5r)

Sariah Tran · Answer 2

4p + pq + 5pr

All of them have p as a common

So, we just take p out to factorize

p (4 + q + 5r)
