Answer 1

7ab3 is ur final answer

Answer 2

`7ab^3`

Explanation:

the greatest common factor of
`42a^5b^3`,
`35a^3b^4`, and
`42ab^4`

LEts write the factors for each expression

`42a^5b^3=6*7*a*a*a*a*a*b*b*b`

`35a^3b^4=5*7*a*a*a*b*b*b*b`

`42ab^4=6*7*a*b*b*b*b`

From all the terms we have common factors

7, 'a' and b^3

So GCF is
`7ab^3`
