Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), you need to see what all of the numbers have in common.

By looking at the terms in the expression, we can see that all the numbers are divisible by 4, so lets factor that out.


4(23x^7y^5+24x^5y^4+11x^4y^5)

We can also see that the terms have a
x^4 and
y^4 in common, so factors those out.


4x^4y^4(23x^3y+24x+11y) <- This is the answer.

I hope this helps!
