OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the GCF is always the smallest so you have x^6 and x^4, which one is smaller

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

which one is smaller between x^6 and x^4 (there is not 2, only a 6 and a 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know, 4, but is the answer 2?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no, for exponents the GCF is the smallest so between x^6 and x^4 the GCF is x^4
