Question

The greatest common factor of 56f 3g 2 and 70fg 3 is 7fg 3.

True
False

Answer 1

I'm not sure how they do this in the US, or if you're in the US / learned in that system for that matter, but here is the way Iearnt how to do it. I assume "f" and "g" are either variables or functions (I guess it doesn't really matter).

Sorry for the crooked columns, but its hard to precisely center them.
Any the GCF is found by multiplying all the common factor together (the circled terms).

Answer 2

As you can see 7*3*2*f*g is not the same as 7fg3, so the statement is false.
