Question

What is the greatest common factor of 60x^4y^7, 45x^5y^5, and 75x^3y

Answer 1

The greatest common factor is 5x^3y 

Answer 2

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`.
