Answer:

15x^4z^2

Explanation:

We need to break each term into the smallest factors

30 = 3*10 = 3*2*5

75 = 3*25 = 3*5*5

-30 x^4yz^3 = -3*2*5 * xxxxyzzz

75 x^4z^2 = 5*5*3xxxxzz

What common factors are in each term

3*5*xxxx*zz

15x^4z^2

First find the common factor of -30 and 75, which is 15.

Next find the common factors of the variables:

The factors of x$6 is x*x*x*x

Factor for y is y

Factors for Z^3 is z*z*z

Factors for Z^2 is z*z

The GCF would be x^4z^2

Final answer = 15x^4z^2
