probably extremely easy but would like a little explanation on doing this when it comes to this specific subject
2 answers:
Gcf of 6 and10 is 2.
Gcf of 15a^3, 20a^2 is 5a.
Gcf of ab , a^2 b^2 is ab.
To find the Gcf of exponents;
Take a^3-a^2
A cancels each other out
3-2=1
A represents 1.
ab, a^2b^2
a^2 b^2- ab
A and b cancel each other out.
2-2=0
So you are left with a and b to represent your exponents.
Hope that made sense.
Also in the pic is a explanation in how to find the Gcf for normal numbers!
Hope this helps you!
