Solution - Factoring multivariable polynomials

5x2y2(x+y)(x5y)
5x^2y^2*(x+y)*(x-5y)

Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (((5•(x4))•(y2))-((20•(x3))•(y3)))-(52x2•y4)

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (((5•(x4))•(y2))-((22•5x3)•y3))-52x2y4

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  ((5x4 • y2) -  (22•5x3y3)) -  52x2y4

Step  4  :

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

 5.1     Pull out like factors :
