Answer 1

6a³

Explanation:

First find the GCF of the numbers, which is the easy part...

The largest number that 24, 18, and 12 can all be divided by is 6.

So 6 is the first part of the GCF.

Now for the variable...

The smallest exponent in an instance of the variable is 3.

So a³ is the variable part.

GCF: 6a³
