👉Learn how to solve a quadratic equation by factoring out the GCF.  When factoring out the GCF from an equation we will be looking for what the terms have in common.  This method is very useful for quadratic equations that does not have the constant term. Once we have factored out what the terms have in common we will apply the zero product property to solve the quadratic equation. The zero product property states that if the product of two terms is zero, then either of the terms is zero or both of the terms are zero.
