No, the answer is 1/2 (2/4). If you have a pie, cut 4 pieces, and take one piece, that is 1/4. If you cut a pie in two pieces and take one piece, you took 1/2 AND that piece you took would be bigger than the 1/4 piece.

Determine the greatest common factor of 15xy^7z and 30x^2y^7z

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$15x {y}^{7} z$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factorize the Expressions</h3>

$15x {y}^{2} z = 3 \times 5 \times x \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times z$

$30 {x}^{2} {y}^{7} z = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times x \times x \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times z$

<h3>Factor out the Common Factors</h3>

$gcf = 3 \times 5 \times x \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times z$

<h3>Multiply the Common Factors</h3>

$3 \times 5 \times x \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times y \times z = 15x {y}^{7} z$

The Factored expressions are

$15x {y}^{7} z$

And

$15x {y}^{7} (2x)$
