Question

Find the greatest common factor. 5x5y2 + 15x2y3 + x3y5

Answer 1

The Greatest Common Factor is x^2y^2

Answer 2

GCF is x²y².

Explanation:

Given : 5x * 5y² + 15x² * y³ + x³ *
`y^(5)`.

To find : Find the greatest common factor.

Solution : We have given 5x * 5y² + 15x² * y³ + x³ *
`y^(5)`.

Greatest common factor or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers.

Greatest common factor in 5
`y^(5)` * 5y² + 15x² * y³ + x³ *
`y^(5)`.

x²y² is common in all three terms.

Therefore, GCF is x²y².
