The answer is: "21" .
_____________________________________________________
"21" is the GCF of the two values: "21" and "63xy² " .

The problem given:
____________________________________________________
Find the GCF ("greatest common factor") of the following two (2) terms:
"21" and "63xy² " .
______________________________________________________
There are two (2) terms given: "21" and "63xy² " .
______________________________________________________
Since one of the 2 terms is a whole number integer with no variables, we no that the GCF (greatest common factor) has to be an integer.
So we can rewrite the problem as:
Find the GCF of 21 and 63.
Note that: "63÷21 = 3" .
So, "21" is factor of "63".
And "21" is the greatest common factor of itself ("21").

So, "21" is the GCF of the two values: "21" and "63xy² " .
_____________________________________________________
The answer is: " 21 " .
