Answer:


x^3

Explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of a set of numbers, we need to find the greatest number, that when it's used as a divisor for all the numbers, returns an integer value.

We have the numbers
x^3, x^6, and
x^9.

Exponent rules tell us that
a^b / a^c = a^(b-c).

This means that each of these values must be raised to the power of three. Therefore, each of them can be divided by
x^3.


x^3 / x^3 = 1


x^6 / x^3 = x^3


x^9 / x^3 = x^6

So
x^3 is the GCF.

Hope this helped!
