Answer:

The first expression can be rewritten as

35 {b}^{2} = 5 \times 7 \times {b}^{2}35b

2

=5×7×b

2

The second expression is rewritten as

15 {b}^{3} = 3 \times 5 {b}^{3}15b

3

=3×5b

3

The third expression is

5b = 5 \times b5b=5×b

The greatest common factor is the product of the least powers of the common factors.
