How would you find the factors of \(7{z}^{2}-10z+3\)?

Below is the solution.



\[7{z}^{2}-10z+3\]

1
Split the second term in \(7{z}^{2}-10z+3\) into two terms.
\[7{z}^{2}-3z-7z+3\]

2
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
\[z(7z-3)-(7z-3)\]

3
Factor out the common term \(7z-3\).
\[(7z-3)(z-1)\]
