This is because y is a factor of 5y and it's also a factor of y^2 = y*y

It's the largest common factor between the two given expressions.

Hello.

The highest common factor of

$\mathrm{5y} \:and\:y^(2)$

is

y is the greatest common factor (G.C.F.) also called the Highest Common Factor (HCF)

Therefore, y is the highest common factor of 5y and y².

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
