anonymous · Answer

greatest common factor of $18x^{16}y^{10} $  and  $27x^4y^5 $ is ?

anonymous · Answer

both factors contain a 9 because $18=9\times 2$ and $27=9\times 3$ so the greatest common factor will have a 9 in it

anonymous · Answer

greatest common factor of $x^{16}$ and $x^4$ is $x^4$ since $x^{16}=x^{12}\times x^4$
similarly $y^{10}=y^5\times y^5$ so your greatest common factor is $9x^4y^5$
