Question

What is the GCF of x^3y^5z^2 and x^4yz^5?

Answer 1

To find the GCF we need to multiply the lowest degree of the common factors.
In this case, the common factors are x,y and z.
The lowest degree of x is x^3, the lowest degree of y is y and the lowest degree of z is z^2.
So the answer is x^3yz^2
