Question

198q3r2 – 184q2r2 + 18qr2

Answer 1

first find the GCF (greatest common factor)
GCF of 198, 18 and 18 is §8
can u find GCF of q,q3 and q2
and of r2, r2 and r2 - thats easy

Answer 2

* second line - i meant 18

Answer 3

6? I'm trying to help my bf with his math work.

Answer 4

sorry - i had the numbers wrong
u need GCF of 198, 184 and 18

Answer 5

best to factor numbers like these to find GCF

198 = 2 * 99
184 = 2*2 *2 * 23
18 = 2*3*3

common factor is 2 so 2 is the GCF

Answer 6

K. So 2 ist he GCF, now what?

Answer 7

now find gcf of q and r terms

Answer 8

Okay. Q=1 R=2?

Answer 9

q terms - you have q, q^2 and q^3 - which of these will divide exactly into each one?

Answer 10

1?

Answer 11

the gcfs are q and r^2

Answer 12

not 1 - the gcf is q - it will dviide exactly into q q2 and q3

Answer 13

My bad. I was saying 1 because there was only a q there..

Answer 14

ok - so the 'complete' gcf is 2qr^2

Answer 15

Yes. That's what I was thinking man, thanks alot.

Answer 16

now you divide the gcf into each of the original terms to get what goes in the brackets
i[ll start you off:

= 2qr^2(99q^2 - .. (because 198q^3r^2 / 2qr^2 = 99q^2)
