dictionary

anonymous · Answer

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers

anonymous · Answer

look at each term..xy, y^2x, and x^2y.....now what letters appear in all 3 terms ?

anonymous · Answer

x and y

anonymous · Answer

correct....so we factor xy out of all 3 terms.....we cannot factor x^2 or y^2 out because 1 of the terms only has 1 x and 1 y. So basically, the GCF is just xy.
Does that make sense to you ? The GCF is the biggest number that can be factored out of all the numbers (or in this case letters).
