Hi there! The greatest common factor/divisor (gcf / gcd) is 2x.

We can see this by writing the numbers as multipliers:

14 {x}^(2) = 7 * 2 * x * x

4xy = 2 * 2 * x * y


Now we can see that the factors which are in common are 2 and x. Therefore the greatest common factor/divisor (gcf / gcd) of the two numbers is 2x.
