x and y after every number

Answer 4

well yeah but umm... Okay let's do it this way:

\[16x^4y^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x \times x \times x\times x\times y \times y \times y\]\[8x^3y^2 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times x \times x \times x \times y \times y \]\[20x^2y = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times x \times x \times y\]


i listed the factors of the three terms - what's common to all three of 'em?
