$a c^{2} - a^{5} c$

Step 1

Factor $a c$ out of $a c^{2}$ .

$a c (c) - a^{5} c$

Step 2

Factor $a c$ out of $- a^{5} c$ .

$a c (c) + a c (- a^{4})$

Step 3

Factor $a c$ out of $a c (c) + a c (- a^{4})$ .

$a c (c - a^{4})$

$[\begin{array}{c} x^{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \sqrt{π} & \int x d x \end{array}]$
