Question

What is the GCF (-3x, 6x, 12x)

Answer 1

3x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the prime factorization of each of the terms:

`\begin{gathered} -3x=-1*3* x \\ 6x=2*3* x \\ 12x=2*2*3* x \end{gathered}`

Next, pick the term that is common in the three products:

`\begin{gathered} \text{GCF}=3* x \\ =3x \end{gathered}`

The GCF of -3x, 6x, and 12x is 3x.
