The greatest common factor (or GCF) is, as the name says, the greatest factor a set of numbers have in common. We can find this by listing out all the possible factors (multiples) of each number:
For 28:
<u>1</u>, <u>2</u>, 4, <u>7</u>, 14, 28
For 42
<u>1</u>, <u>2</u>, 3, 6, <u>7</u>, 21, 42
<em>(note you don't need to list out all the factors, I just did it for visual purposes)</em>
As you can see, 28 and 42 have 3 factors in common, with 7 being the greatest.
Therefore, the answer would be C: the GCF is 7.

As a fraction: 20/7
As a mixed number: 2 6/7
5r + 2t = c
In this equation, 'r' represents the number of rose bushes, 't' represents the number of tomato plants, and 'c' represents the total cost.
Answer: To find the roots of a Rational Expression we only need to find the the roots of the top polynomial, so long as the Rational Expression is in "Lowest Terms". Lowest Terms means when the top and bottom of a fraction have no common factors.
