Procedural Documentation for Factoring Trinomials

A project coordinator is reviewing a resource allocation formula represented by the expression $4y^2 + 24y + 28$. To simplify the formula for a report, the coordinator needs to document the process of extracting the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). Describe the standard procedural steps required to identify the GCF for these three terms and rewrite the trinomial in its factored form. In your description, identify the specific GCF and explain how to verify that the final factored form is correct.
