Question

What is the greatest common factor of 15x^3y^2 and 20x^4y^4?

Answer 1

What is the greatest common factor of 15x³y² and 20x⁴y⁴? ​

​First we have to find the factors of 15x³y²

15x³y² = 3 * 5x³y² ​

​Then we have to find the factors of 20x⁴y⁴

​20x⁴y⁴ = 2²x¹y² * 5x³y²

Now we have to find the common factors to both numbers.​

The common factors are 5x³y²

Answer : GCF = (15x³y²,20x⁴y⁴) = 5x³y²​

​Hope this helps!​​​​
