Question

Find the GCF of the monomials 6d3, 27d2

Answer 1

3d^2

Explanation:

First, find the GCF of 6 and 27, which is 3.

Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9, 27

Then, find the greatest value of the variable d^3 and d^2, which is d^2. Since this is a variable, we just need to take out the highest degree accompanying the variable.

27(d^2)

6d(d^2)

Combine both of your findings to get 3d^2.
