The greatest common factor of 70x^3, 110x^7 and 60x^8 is 10x.

The largest common factor (GCF) of a list of terms is the greatest number that is a factor of all of the terms. To find the GCF, we can use the following steps:

Prime factorize all of the terms.

Identify the prime factors that are common to all of the terms.

Multiply the common prime factors together.

Step 1: Prime factorize all of the terms.

70x3 = 2*5*7*x*x*x

110x7 = 2*5*11*x*x*x

60x8 = 2*2*3*5*x*x*x

Step 2: Identify the prime factors that are common to all of the terms.

The prime factors that are common to all of the terms are 2, 5, and x.

Step 3: Multiply the common prime factors together.

GCF = 2*5*x = 10x

Therefore, the largest common factor of the list of terms 70x3, 110x7, and 60x8 is 10x.

Image analysis:

The image shows a screenshot of a computer screen with an algebra question. The question is to find the greatest common factor for the list of terms 70x3, 110x7, and 60x8.

The image is relevant to the query because it is the source of the query. The image also helps to verify that the answer to the query is correct.

Conclusion:

The largest common factor of the list of terms 70x3, 110x7, and 60x8 is 10x.
