Question

Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial. 48x ^ 6 + 6x ^ 2 - 26x ^ 3

Answer 1

`2x^(2)`

Explanation:

Find the GCF of the numbers 48, 6 and 26.

The largest number each can be divided by is 2, which is the GCF.

Find the GCF of
`x^(2), x^(3), x^(6)`

The GCF is always the smallest exponent, so
`x^(2)` is the GCF

Combine the two GCF for the answer

`2x^(2)`
