Question

Find the greatest common factor of 15x2 y3 and -20x3 yz

Answer 1

Hey,

So, what you do is you Multiply the GCF of the numerical part 3 and the GCF of the variable part x^2y to get
3x^2y.

Hope I helped!

Have a great Day!

Answer 2

ANSWER


`5 {x}^(2) y`



Step-by-step explanation

The first expression is


`15 {x}^(2) {y}^(3)`

This can be rewritten as


`3 * 5 * {x}^(2) * x * {y}^(2) * y`


The second expression is


`- 20 {x}^(3) yz`



This can also be rewritten as,


`= - {2}^(2) * 5 * {x}^(2) * x * y * z`

The greatest common factors are;


`5 * {x}^(2) * y = 5 {x}^(2) y`
