The first expression is

8y^4 + 4y^3 + 16y - 8y

The greatest common factor is the highest factor common to each all the terms. For this expression, the GCF is

4 and y because 4 is the highest number that all the terms can divide without a fraction and a single y is common to all that terms. Thus,

GCF = 4y

The second expression is

3x^4 + x^3 - 3 + 3x

There is no number or term that is common to all the terms in the expression. Thus

No GCF
