First factor the each term in the expression.

\

k3 k · k · k

\

 

\

k2 k · k

\

5k 5 · k

\

The GCF is the product of the common prime factors in each term.

\

GCF = k

\

 \"\"

\

Write each term as a product of the GCF and its remaining factors.

\

k3 + k2 + 5k = k(k2 ) + k (k) + k(5) \ \

\

Combine like terms uisng distribuitve property: ab + ac = a(b + c).

\

k3 + k2 + 5k = k (k2 + k + 5)

\

\

Simplified expression is k (k2 + k + 5) .
