Question

Find the GCF of the given polynomial.
16a 4 b 4 + 32a 3 b 5 - 48a 2 b 6

Answer 1

Best Answer: 8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3

GCF of 8 and 3 is 1
GCF of x^6 and x^8 is x^6 the lowest exponent of x.
GCF of y^5 and y^3 is y^3 the lowest exponent of y.
Total GCF = 1 × x^6 × y^3
= x^6y^3

8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3
= x^6y^3(8y^2 – 3x^2)
---- This is the correct answer!!!
