Question

What is the GCF for 4x^2yz^3 and 12xz^2

Answer 1

4xz^2.

Explanation:

GCF of 4 and 12 is 4

GCF of x^2 and x is x.

GCF of z^3 and z^2 is z^2.

Answer 2

The great common factor is:

x(2z)²

Steps:

given:

• 4x²yz³

• 12xz²

4x²yz³ = 2²x²z²yz

4x²yz³ = x(2z)²xyz

---------------------------------

12xz² = 4×3xz²

12xz² = 2²3xz²

12xz² = x(2z)²3

The great common factor is: x(2z)²
