Math Problem Statement
gcf of 9x³y³, 6x⁴y³, 2x⁵y²
Solution
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the terms , , and , follow these steps:
-
Find the GCF of the coefficients (numerical parts):
- Coefficients: 9, 6, and 2.
- The GCF of 9, 6, and 2 is 1, as 1 is the largest number that divides all three.
-
Find the GCF of the terms:
- For , , and , the lowest exponent is 3.
- So, the GCF of the terms is .
-
Find the GCF of the terms:
- For , , and , the lowest exponent is 2.
- So, the GCF of the terms is .
Therefore, the GCF of , , and is:
