Question

Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial. 24x^5 + 32x^3 – 12x

Answer 1

Answer:

$GCF_{Numerical}$ $= 4$      $GCF_{Variable}$ $= x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson : GCF

Let us start on the numerical terms:

$24x^{5} + 32x^{3} - 12x$

$24 , 32,-12$

Common factors for all these numbers are 1 , 2 , and 4,

Since we are looking for GCF, 4 is the term for numerical GCF.

Now for the variable terms:

$x^{5} , x^{3} , x$

Common factors for all these numbers are x

Therefore x is the term for variable GCF
