Question

Find the GCF 4x^5y^3+8x^4y^4+4x^3y^2

Answer 1

`4x^5y^3+8x^4y^4+4x^3y^2`

GCF is the greatest common factor

We take GCF of numbers first and then we take GCF for variables

GCF of 4, 8, 4 is 4 because all the numbers are divisible by 4

For variable, lowest exponent is our GCF

GCF of
`x^5+x^4+x^3` is x^3

GCF of
`y^3+y^4+y^2` is y^2

So GCF is 4x^3y^2
