Question

Which term can be added to the list so that greatest common factor of the three terms is 12h^3? 36h^3 12h^6. 6h^3. 12h^2. 30h^4. 48h^5

Answer 1

Answer:

Last Option $48h^{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we will do the factors of given two terms then we will do the common factors of all the terms given in answer to match with.

Common factors of 36h³ = 1×2×2×3×3×h×h×h

Common factors of $12h^{6}$ = 1×2×2×3×h×h×h×h×h×h

In these two terms greatest common factor Of these two terms is = 1×2×2×3×h×h×h = 12h³

Therefore the third term will be the number which has the greatest common factor = 12h³

So the given terms are

6h³ = 1×2×3×h×h×h

12h² = 1×2×2×3×h×h

$30h^{4}$ = 1×2×3×5×h×h×h×h

$48h^{5}$ = 1×2×2×2×2×3×h×h×h×h×h

Therefore the greatest common factor of the term which matches with 12h³ is $48h^{5}$
