Question

Find the GCF of the following literal terms. m^7 n^4 p^3 and mn^12 p^5

m[]n[]p[]

Answer 1

That would be m n^4 p^3

Answer 2

The GCF of following literal terms is
`m^1n^4p^3`.

Explanation:

The given literal terms are

`m^7n^4p^3`

`m^1n^(12)p^5`

The factored form of the given terms are

`m^7n^4p^3=m* m* m* m* m* m* m* n* n* n* n* p* p* p`

`mn^(12)p^5=m* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* n* p* p* p* p* p`

The common factors are m,n,n,n,n,p,p,p. So, the G.greatest common factors is

`GCF=m* n* n* n* n* p* p* p`

`GCF=m^1n^4p^3`

Therefore the GCF of following literal terms is
`m^1n^4p^3`.
