Help 2. Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial. 16x3 + 28x5y 112x^5y 4x^5y 4x^3 8x^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What number can be taken from both terms' ?

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, which second number can be taken out of both terms'?

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well we know that 4 can go into 16 and 28. Can 3 or 5 go into 16 and 28?

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

this is the part i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does 16 and 28 have a common factor of 5 and 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 cannot go into 16 and 28.

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

so its 4x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The common denominators' for 16: 4*4=16 7*4=28 So it would be 4 x3 x*x*x y5 y*y*y*y*y The common denominator is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does this help you?

OpenStudy (dj3strella):

yes @BeautifulMelodies
