Step 1 
The factor that appears in every term of a polynomial is known as the greatest common factor. First check the coefficients of the polynomial to find constant greatest factor and then check all the variable terms to check the greatest common variable term. Then multiply both to get the greatest common factor. 
Step 2 
The given polynomial equation is 6a248a120. First find the greatest common constant present in the polynomial by checking all coefficients. 
6a248a120=6a26×8a6×20 
=6(a28a20) 
From this it can be seen that 6 is the greatest common constant. Now check the variable terms. As the polynomial contains a constant term -120, so all terms doesnt
