Hey guys,I have a question regarding factoring.Is there more than 1 answer to factoring?As In the following
Factor 7n^2-28n
My answer=7(n^2-4n)
Textbook=7n(n-4)
Factor 50n^4-25n^3
my answer=5n^2(10n^2-5n)
text book=25n^3(2n-1)
Even though both gives the same answers,but the text book states that you have to find a common factor between the 2 which is 7N.So I'm unsure if this is correct even though my answer still gives the same answer.
