Question

What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 24x^4 and 80x^5

A.) 4x^5
B.) 6x^4
C.) 8x^4

Answer 1

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the expressions is a product of the GCF of the numerical coefficients and the variables. The GCF of the 24 and 80 is 8. Additionally, the GCF of x^4 and x^5 if x^4. Thus, the GCF is 8x^4. The answer to this problem is letter C.
