Answer:

5y

Step-by-step explanation:

First find all the factors of 15y^3 and then all the factors of -20y

15y^3 = 3 , 5 , y,  y,  y

-20y = 2 , 4,  5, 10, y

The GCF is 5 and y. We choose 5 because it is the greatest number and common in both sets. We also choose one y because it is common in both sets and one y is the greatest common y.

Answer = 5y

You can also do this by using the prime factorization method.

Answer:

GCF will be 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all the negative signs will be excluded when finding the GCF. The GCF is calculated by multiplying together the highest power of each of the common factors.

15^3 can be split into,

3*5*y*y*y.

-20y into,

2*4*5*10*y.

We will choose 5 as it is the greatest common number in both sets and choose y as it is also common in both sets.

So, the GCF will be 5y.

180 product of a prime factor using indices
zvonat [6]
Start with 180. 
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>

<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>

<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>

<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>

<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>

<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>

<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
