The numbers in parentheses are exponents.

Answer 1

`18x^3=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot3\cdot \boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}\\\\30x^5=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot5\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot x\cdot x\\\\GCF(18x^3;\ 30x^5)=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}\cdot\boxed{x}=\boxed{6x^3}`

Answer 2

18x^3 = 6x^3 * 1

30x^5 = 6x^3 * 5x^2

So GCF = 6x^3

Answer

6x^3
