Answer:
4x^3

Explanation:

The given algebraic expression:
44x^5 + 16x^3

Using prime factorization method and law of exponents, rewrite the terms of the expressions as


4*11*(x^(3+2))+4*4* x^3\\\\=4*11* x^3* x^2+4*4* x^3\\\\=4x^3(11x^2+4)

We can see
4x^3 is the common factor in the expressions

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the given expression is =
4x^3
