1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y
2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5
Procedure:
1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:
16 = 2^4
24 = (2^3)*3
=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8
2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5
That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:
=> xy
3) Then, the result is 8xy

There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
Are you trying to solve for c? if so c=8
