Question

Identify the GCF of 8x4y4 - 24x3y3 + 16x3y2.

Answer 1

What is the highest expression you can evenly divide into all three terms?

Answer 2

4?

Answer 3

gcf of the numbers 8,16,24 is 8
......... x4,x3,x3 is x3
......... y4,y3 and y2 = try that one yourself

Answer 4

8x4y4 - 24x3y3 + 16x3y2 factors out to 8x^3y^2(xy^2-3y+2) therefore,
8x^3y^2 is the GCF

Answer 5

8x^3y^2 leaving xy^2 - 3y + 2

Answer 6

ohh okay so you find the gcf of the numbers and than the variables

Answer 7

yea
