Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. \( 6 k^{2}+9 k \)

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms \(6k^2\) and \(9k\) is \(3k\). Factoring \(3k\) out of the polynomial gives us \(3k(2k + 3)\). Now you've got \(3k(2k + 3)\)—which simplifies your mathematical life! Factoring not only tidies up your expressions but also makes it easier to solve equations and analyze functions. Take pride in those factoring skills!
