Answer: HCF =

x³y

Explanation:

HCF of ax³y and bx⁴y³

ax³y = a . x . x . x . y

bx⁴y³ = b . x . x . x . x . y . y . y

Common Factors = x . x . x . y

HCF = x . x . x . y

HCF = x³y Answer

therefore, the HCF of ax³y and bx⁴y³ is x³y.

hope that helps...



note: the dot (.) represents multiplication.

Explanation:

First expression ...


= {ax}^(3) y


= a * x * x * x * y

Second expression.....


= b {x}^(4) {y}^(3)


= b * x * x * x * x * y * y * y

HCF = common factor...


= x * x * x * y


= {x}^(3) y


hence \: {x}^(3) y \: is \: the \: answer....
