First, determine the greatest common factor between the numbers.

Remember, the greatest common factor is just the largest

factor that divides evenly into the two numbers.

In this case, 4 is the largest number so the GCF of our numbers is 4.

For the variables, however, we use the smallest power.

Since we have an x and an x², we use an x.

So our GCF is 4x.
