Answer:

The greatest common factor of given terms is
15x^3y.

Explanation:

The given terms are


60x^4y^7,45x^5y^5,75x^3y

The factored form of each term is


60x^4y^7=2* 2* 3* 5* x* x* x* x* y* y* y* y* y* y* y


45x^5y^5=3* 3* 5* x* x* x* x* x* y* y* y* y* y


75x^3y=3* 5* 5* x* x* x* y

The greatest common factors are 3,5,x,x,x and y.


GCF=3* 5* x* x* x* y

Therefore the greatest common factor of given terms is
15x^3y.
