Question

Identify the GCF of 6x^2y^2 − 8xy^2 + 10xy

Answer 1

Answer:

The GCF for the numerical part is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2y^2-8xy^2+10xy

It contains both numbers and variables, there are two steps to find the GCF(HCF).

1). Find the GCF for the numerical part 6, -8,10

2). Find the GCF for the variable part x^2,y^2,x^1,y^2,x^1,y^3

3).Multiply the values together.

Find the common factors for the numerical part:

6,-8,10

Factors of 6

6: 1,2,3,6

Factors of -8

-8: -8,-4,-2,-1,1,2,4,8

Factors of 10

10:1,2,5,10

Common factors of 6,-8, 10 are 1,2

The GCF Numerical=2

The GCF Variable= xy^2

Multiply the GCF of the numerical part 2 and the GCF of the variable part xy^2, and you'll get 2xy^2
