Question

Find the GCF of the given polynomial. 16a4b4 + 32a3b5 - 48a2b6

Answer 1

Simple.....

once you factor the expression completely you should get...

$16a^{2} b^{4} (a-b)(a+3b)$------> $16a^{2} b^{4}$ is your GCF.

Thus, your answer.

Answer 2

16a^4b^4 + 32a^3b^5 - 48a^2b^6

the GCF would be : 16a^2b^4....because the 16 is the highest coefficient that goes into 16,32,and 48. Then u just take the a with the smallest exponent and the b with the smallest exponent.
