Question

Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression
14yz^3 + 28xy^2z – 7y^2z^2

Answer 1

Well, we gotta begin by finding something in common with all the terms

Answer 2

Would it be possible if you stay and help me with several of these please?

Answer 3

Right of the bat i see we can factor out a 7 a "y" and a "z",

so it would be 7yz

Answer 4

something in common would be 2

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

true but its not the highet possble factor, you see what we do is we look at each term adn see what is the highest possible factor each term has in common

Answer 7

7yz(2z2 + 4xy – yz) right

Answer 8

you got it

Answer 9

okay cool

Answer 10

Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression
16x^3y^2z^3 – 2x^2yz^3 + 14y^3z^4

Answer 11

the GFC would be 2 right

Answer 12

autamatically , i see that 2 would be something we can factor out

Answer 13

so it would be 2yz right?

Answer 14

well, you got two of the three right, 2y for sure, but if you notice all the terms have z^3 in common, so it would be 2yz^3

Answer 15

okay

Answer 16

2yz^3(8x^2y^4z+7x^2y^3)

Answer 17

I see where I went wrong

Answer 18

okay

Answer 19

2yx^2(8x^3y - x^2 + 7y^2z) is my answer right

Answer 20

I forgot to subtract the x^2

Answer 21

the answer would be 2yz^3(8x^3y-x^2+7y^2z)

Answer 22

so you got it

Answer 23

awesome thank you for double checking my work
