Answer:

4y

Explanation:

16 12 4 ---- all could be divided by 4

4 3 1 ---- no more common factors

GCF = 4y --- there are 3 y's in the problem, find the one with the smallest power and use it and the smallest power in this case is y^1

Answer:

4y

Explanation:

every part of the equation can be evenly divided by 4 and y

so this leaves you with 4y (-4
y^(3) + 3y - 1)
