Answer:


15x {y}^(7) z

Explanation:

Factorize the Expressions


15x {y}^(2) z = 3 * 5 * x * y * y * y * y * y * y * y * z


30 {x}^(2) {y}^(7) z = 2 * 3 * 5 * x * x * y * y * y * y * y * y * y * z

Factor out the Common Factors


gcf = 3 * 5 * x * y * y * y * y * y * y * y * z

Multiply the Common Factors


3 * 5 * x * y * y * y * y * y * y * y * z = 15x {y}^(7) z

The Factored expressions are


15x {y}^(7) z

And


15x {y}^(7) (2x)
