What is the greatest common factor of 15x³y² and 20x⁴y⁴?
First we have to find the factors of 15x³y²
15x³y² = 3 * 5x³y²
Then we have to find the factors of 20x⁴y⁴
20x⁴y⁴ = 2²x¹y² * 5x³y²
Now we have to find the common factors to both numbers.
The common factors are 5x³y²
Answer : GCF = (15x³y²,20x⁴y⁴) = 5x³y²
Hope this helps!
