Answer:

The GCF is 6, x and 5x for a, b and c respectively.

Explanation:

Greatest Common Factor for

a.) 6, 12, 24

6 = 2 × 3

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Here, GCF = 2 × 3 = 6

b.) x², x, x³

x² = x × x

x = x

x³ = x × x × x

Here, GCF = x

c) 10x, 15x³, 20x

10x = 2 × 5 × x

15x³ = 3 × 5 × x × x × x

20x = 2 × 2 × 5 × x

Here, GCF = 5 × x = 5x

Thus, The GCF is 6, x and 5x for a, b and c respectively.
