Question

Find the greatest common factor. 2x3y + x2y2 + 4xy3

Answer 1

2x^3y + x^2y^2 + 4xy^3

GCF = xy

Answer 2

greatest common factor = xy

Explanation:

The given expression is
`2x^3y+x^2y^2+4xy^3`

In order to find the greatest common factor, we see common factor in these three terms.

For the numbers 2, 1, and 4 the common factor is 1

For x^3, x^2 and x, the common term is x

For y, y^2 and y^3, the common term is y

Hence, the GCF of the the expression is multiplication of these individual factors.

Hence, greatest common factor = 1xy

greatest common factor = xy
