Here, your expression is: 24y⁸ + 6y
Now, your coefficients are: 24, and 6
So, GCF of 24 & 6 is 6

& Greatest common variable of y⁸ and y⁶ is y⁶
So, Your GCF for whole expression is 6y⁶

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Option D is correct.


6y^6

Step-by-step explanation

Greatest common factor(GCF) of a polynomial states that the largest polynomial that divides into the polynomials.

Given that:
24y^8+6y^6

First find the GCF of the expression.

The GCF of 24 and 6 is 6.

And the

GCF of
y^8 , y^6 is
y^6

Combine these to find the GCF of the polynomial is,
6y^6

then;


24y^8+6y^6 =6y^6(4y^2+1)

Therefore, the greatest common factor of


24y^8+6y^6 is
6y^6
