Answer 1

The GCF of 3a^2 + 9 is 3.

Factor for 3a^2 + 9
3a^2 + 9 = 3(a2 + 3)

Answer:3(a2+3)

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We are given that an expression

`3a^2+9`

We have to find the greatest common factor of
`3a^2+9`

In order to find the GCF we will find the factor of each term

`3a^2=3* a* a`

`9=3* 3`

The common factor in both terms is 3.

Hence, greatest common factor of
`3a^2+9` is 3.

Answer: 3
