Question

What is the greatest common
factor of the expression?
2x^2y^3+4x^2y^5

Answer 1

`2x^2y^3`

Explanation:

The given expression is :

`2x^2y^3+4x^2y^5`

We need to find the greatest common factor of the expression.

The first term is
`2x^2y^3`

The other term is
`4x^2y^5`

`2x^2y^3` is common in both terms. So,

`2x^2y^3(1+2y^2)`

Hence, the greatest common factor of the expression is equal to
`2x^2y^3`.
