The given expression is 7x42.  
Finding the prime factorization:
7x=7×x 42=2×3×7   Therefore,
7x42= 7×x 2×3×7  
Regrouping the terms:
7x42= 7×x 7×2×3  
Taking the common terms out:
7x12= 7 × x2×3 7x12=7× x6  
Hence, the factorization of the expression 7x42   equals to 7×(x6).  
Hence, option 1 is correct.
