Question

The GCF of 36 uw 3y and 45 u 2y is _____. 9 uy 3 uy 1,620 u 2w 3y 180 u 2w 3y

Answer 1

Given:

`36uw^3y` and
`45u^2y`

To find:

The GCF of given expressions.

Solution:

The factor forms of given terms are:

`36uw^3y=2* 2* 3* 3* u* w* w* w* y`

`45u^2y=3* 3* 5* u* u* y`

Now, greatest common factor (GCF) of given terms is

`GCF(36uw^3y,45u^2y)=3* 3* u* y`

`GCF(36uw^3y,45u^2y)=9uy`

So, the GCF of given terms is 9uy.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
