Identify the GCF of 6x2y2 − 8xy2 + 10xy3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What can be removed from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does 6, 8 and 10 have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, we will take out 2 What about the x2 x and x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They all have x in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or at least 1x in common ergo x will be left correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, now you have added x to the list of removed items.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And now the y's y2, y2 and y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we will remove 1y and be left with y^2 ? because y^2 - y = y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so with that done we would get 2xy^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we got add y2 to the list of removed items. Now all together now! 2xy2 is our gcf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct!! Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
