Question

What is the specific question?

anonymous · Answer

Wait be patient @ParthKohli

lgbasallote · Answer

1) look at the terms
2) find what is common (what appears in all terms)

parthkohli · Answer

The common factor will be the number that can be divided from both terms.

lgbasallote · Answer

for example you have 4x + 3xy

both terms have x so x is the common monomial factor

got it? :)

parthkohli · Answer

@lgbasallote Doesn't apply if you see constants somewhat.

parthkohli · Answer

You can't check everything visually.

lgbasallote · Answer

you'll write it as x(4 + 3y)

parthkohli · Answer

A systematic approach is a good one.

anonymous · Answer

no still @lgbasallote is perfect to his point the answer is STRAIGHT to the POINT

lgbasallote · Answer

another example..

a^2 + 2ab +4a

a is common again..so that's the common monomial factor

lgbasallote · Answer

are you getting the concept @Ms.Blue ? :D

parthkohli · Answer

The correct definition with a genus and a species is that "A common factor is a number(algebraic or constant) such that it perfectly divides from both the terms obtaining no remainder somewhat."

did you get my simple explanation @Ms.Blue ?
