Question

Find the greatest common factor for the group of monomials and match your result to the correct answer below.12x²y, 28xy², 64y5Select one:O a. 4x²y5O b. 4yO c. 2yO d. y

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

monomials:

12x²y , 28xy², 64y^5

Step 02:

greatest common factor:

12x²y = 2 * 2 * 3 * x * x * y

28xy² = 2 * 2 * 7 * x * y * y

64y^5 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * y * y * y * y * y

align the common factors:

2 , 2 , y

find the product of the common factors:

2 * 2 * y = 4y

The answer is:

4y
