Answer:
The GCF of the terms is 2c
Explanation:
Greatest common factor:
To find the gcf of the expression, we find the gcf separately for the numbers and for the powers of c, and then multiply them.
Numbers:
8, 12 and 10.
Dividing them all by prime factors:
8 - 12 - 10|2
4 - 6 - 5
5 is not divisible by 2, so we stop there, and the gcf of the numbers is 2.
Powers of c:
Powers of c are 1, 2 and 3. The gcf of 1,2,3 is 1, as there is not a number that is divisible by all of 1,2,3 other than 1. So the gcf for the powers of c is c^1 = c.
GCF of the expression:
2*c = 2c
