Identifying the GCF for Final Simplification

A quality control engineer is simplifying a formula for error margins: 2uu−1+1u−2u−1u2−u\frac{2u}{u-1} + \frac{1}{u} - \frac{2u-1}{u^2-u}. After combining the terms into a single fraction, the resulting numerator is 2u2−u2u^2 - u. Identify the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) that must be factored out of this numerator to proceed with the final simplification.
