Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial. 18x^2 + 16x^6. Please explain how you solve this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Greatest common factor = GCF, correct?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

GCF = maximum common terms among terms, so here, 2x^2 is the GCF

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah. Thank you.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maximum?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

it's like the way i remember it.. in other words u can say whatever u find common b/w them..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maximum = "greatest".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As in "largest"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Problem solved. Thanks.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Like the "biggest"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GCF = Greatest Common Factor. So, you are asked to find the biggest common number/term/expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should post it separately. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.
