(vii) \(10pq, 20qr, 30rp\)

(viii) \(3x^2y^3, 10x^3y^2, 6x^2y^2z\)



NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 14 Factorization


Answer :

(i) Given:12x, 36

\(=(2 \times 2 \times 3 \times x) and (2 \times 2 \times3 \times 3)\)

So we have the common factors are \(2 \times 2 \times 3 = 12\)

Hence, the common factor = 12

(ii) Given that: 2y, 22xy

\(= (2 \times y) and (2 \times 11 \times x \times y)\)

We have the common factors are \(2 \times y = 2y\)

Hence, the common factor = 2y

(iii) Given that: \(14pq, 28p^2q^2\)

\(= (2 \times 7 \times p \times q) and (2 \times 2 \times 7 \times p \times p \times q \times q)\)

So, we have the common factors are \(2 \times 7 \times p \times q = 14pq\)

Hence, the common factor = 14pq

(iv) Given that:\(2x, 3x^2, 4\)

\(= (2 \times x), (3 \times x \times x) \) and \((2 \times 2)\)

We have the common factor as 1

Hence, the common factor = 1 [∵ 1 is a factor of every number]

(v)Given that: \(abc, 24ab^2, 12a^2b\)

\(= (2 \times 3 \times a \times b \times c), (2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times a \times b \times b)\) and \((2 \times 2 \times 3 \times a \times a \times b)\)

So, we have the common factors are \(2 \times 3 \times a \times b = 6ab\)

Hence, the common factor = 6ab

(vi) Given that:\(16x^3, -4x^2, 32x\)

\(= (2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x \times x \times x), -(2 \times 2 \times x \times x), (2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x)\)

We have the common factors are \(2 \times 2 \times x = 4x\)

Hence, the common factor = 4x

(vii)Given that: 10pq, 20qr, 30rp

\(= (2 \times 5 \times p \times q), (2 \times 2 \times 5 \times q \times r), (2 \times 3 \times 5 \times r \times p)\)

So,we have common factors are \(2 \times 5 = 10\)

Hence, the common factor = 10

(viii) Given that:\(3x^2y^2, 10x^3y^2, 6x^2y^2z\)

\(= (3 \times x \times x \times y \times y), (2 \times 5 \times x \times x \times x \times y \times y), (2 \times 3 \times x \times x \times y \times y \times z)\)

So, the common factors are \(x \times x \times y \times y = x^2y^2\)

Hence, the common factor = \(x^2y^2\).

2. Factorise the following expressions.

(i) \(7x – 42\)

(ii) \(6p – 12q\)

(iii) \(7a^2 + 14a\)

(v) \(20l^2m + 30alm\)

(vi) \(5x^2y – 15xy^2\)

(vii) \(10a^2 – 15b^2 + 20c^2\)

(viii) \(-4a^2 + 4ab – 4ca\)

(ix) \(x^2yz + xy^2z + xyz^2\)

(x) \(ax^2y + bxy^2 + cxyz\)



NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 14 Factorization


Answer :

(i)We have: \(7x – 42 = 7(x – 6)\)

(ii)We have: \(6p – 12q = 6(p – 2q)\)

(iii) We have: \(7a^2 + 14a = 7a(a + 2)\)

(iv)We have: \(-16z + 20z^3 = 4z(-4 + 5z^2)\)

(v) We have: \(20l^2m + 30alm = 10lm(2l + 3a)\)

(vi) We have: \(5x^2y – 15xy^2 = 5xy(x – 3y)\)

(vii) We have: \(10a^2 – 15b^2 + 20c^2 = 5(2a^2 – 3b^2 + 4c^2)\)

(viii)We have: \(-4a^2 + 4ab – 4ca = 4a(-a + b – c)\)

(ix)We have: \(x^2yz + xy^2z + xyz^2 = xyz(x + y + z)\)

(x) We have: \(ax^2y + bxy^2 + cxyz = xy(ax + by + cz)\)

3.Factorise:
(i) \(x2 + xy + 8x + 8y\)

(ii) \(15xy – 6x + 5y – 2\)

(iii) \(ax + bx – ay – by\)

(iv) \(15pq + 15 + 9q + 25p\)

(v) \(z – 7 + 7xy – xyz\)



NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 14 Factorization


Answer :

(i)We have: \(x2 + xy + 8x + 8y\)

now, grouping the terms, we have \(x2 + xy + 8x + 8y\)

\(= x(x + y) + 8(x + y)\)

\(= (x + y)(x + 8)\)

Thus, the required factors =\((x + y)(x + 8)\)

(ii)We have: \(15xy – 6x + 5y – 2\)

Now, grouping the terms, we have \((15xy – 6x) + (5y – 2)\)

\(= 3x(5y – 2) + (5y – 2)\)

\(= (5y – 2)(3x + 1)\)

Thus, the required factors =\( (5y – 2)(3x + 1)\)

(iii) We have: \(ax + bx – ay – by\)

Now, grouping the terms, we have \(= (ax – ay) + (bx – by)\)

\(= a(x – y) + b(x – y)\)

\(= (x – y)(a + b)\)

Thus, the required factors = \((x – y)(a + b)\)

(iv) We have: \(15pq + 15 + 9q + 25p\)

Now, grouping the terms, we have \(= (15pq + 25p) + (9q + 15)\)

\(= 5p(3q + 5) + 3(3q + 5)\)

\(= (3q + 5) (5p + 3)\)

Thus, the required factors = \((3q + 5) (5p + 3)\)

(v) We have:\(z – 7 + 7xy – xyz\)

Now,grouping the terms, we have \(= (-xyz + 7xy) + (z – 7)\)

\(= -xy(z – 7) + 1 (z – 7)\)

\(= (-xy + 1) (z – 1)\)

Thus, the required factor =\( -(1 – xy) (z – 7)\)

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 14 Factorization


Answer :

(i) Given:\(a^2 + 8a + 16\)

Here, 4 + 4 = 8 and \(4 \times 4 = 16\)

\(a^2 + 8a +16\)

\(= a^2 + 4a + 4a + 4 \times 4\)

\(= (a^2 + 4a) + (4a + 16)\)

\(= a(a + 4) + 4(a + 4)\)

\(= (a + 4) (a + 4)\)

\(= (a + 4)^2\)

(ii) Given:\(p^2 – 10p + 25\)

Here, 5 + 5 = 10 and \(5 \times 5 = 25\)

\(=p^2 – 10p + 25\)

\(= p^2 – 5p – 5p + 5 \times 5\)

\(= (p^2 – 5p) + (-5p + 25)\)

\(= p(p – 5) – 5(p – 5)\)

\(= (p – 5) (p – 5)\)

\(= (p – 5)^2\)

(iii) Given:\(25m^2 + 30m + 9\)

Here, \(15 + 15 = 30\) and \(15 \times 15 = 25 \times 9 = 225\)

\(25m^2 + 30m + 9\)

\(= 25m^2 + 15m + 15m + 9\)

\(= (25m^2 + 15m) + (15m + 9)\)

\(= 5m(5m + 3) + 3(5m + 3)\)

\(= (5m + 3) (5m + 3)\)

\(= (5m + 3)^2\)

(iv) Given:\(49y^2 + 84yz + 36z^2\)

Here, \(42 + 42 = 84\) and \(42 \times 42 = 49 \times 36 = 1764\)

\(49y^2 + 84yz + 36z^2\)

\(= 49y^2 + 42yz + 42yz + 36z^2\)

\(= 7y(7y + 6z) +6z(7y + 6z)\)

\(= (7y + 6z) (7y + 6z)\)

\(= (7y + 6z)^2\)

(v) Given:\(4x^2 – 8x + 4\)

\(= 4(x^2 – 2x + 1) [Taking \;4 \;common]\)

\(= 4(x^2 – x – x + 1)\)

\(= 4[x(x – 1) -1(x – 1)]\)

\(= 4(x – 1)(x – 1)\)

\(= 4(x – 1)^2\)

(vi) Given: \(121b^2 – 88bc + 16c^2\)

Here, \(44 + 44 = 88\) and \(44 \times 44 = 121 \times 16 = 1936\)

\(121b^2 – 88bc + 16c^2\)

\(= 121b^2 – 44bc – 44bc + 16c^2\)

\(= 11b(11b – 4c) – 4c(11b – 4c)\)

\(= (11b – 4c) (11b – 4c)\)

\(= (11b – 4c)^2\)

(vii) Given:\((l + m)^2 – 4lm\)

Expanding the expression, \( (l + m)^2\), we have

\(l^2 + 2lm + m^2 – 4lm\)

\(= l^2 – 2lm + m^2\)

\(= l^2 – Im – lm + m^2\)

\(= l(l – m) – m(l – m)\)

\(= (l – m) (l – m)\)

\(= (l – m)^2\)

(viii) Given:\(a^4 + 2a^2b^2 + b^4\).So we have,

\(= a^4 + a^2b^2 + a^2b^2 + b^4\)

\(= a^2(a^2 + b^2) + b^2(a^2 + b^2)\)
