Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The greatest common factor is the largest factor that both numbers contain. Let's look at the factors of these terms.

12x²: 1, 12, 2, 6, 3, 4, x, x

15x³: 1, 15, 3, 5, x, x ,x

We see that both of these numbers contain a 3 and 2 x's, so our GCF would be 3x².

Have a wonderful day!
