Question

find the greatest common factor of the following monominal :
2a 40a^3

Answer 1

gcf of 2 and 40 is ?

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

k good

Answer 4

so whats the answer

Answer 5

how about the gcf of \(a\) and \(a^3\)?

Answer 6

2?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

your answer should have an \(a\) in it , not a number

Answer 9

a^2

Answer 10

there is no \(a^2\) in \(a\) lets go slow

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

suppose \(a=10\) then you would have \(10\) and \(1000\)
what is the gcf of 10 and1000?

Answer 13

please come back to my question :) @satellite73

Answer 14

did i lose you @crissyyyxoxo123 ?

Answer 15

10

Answer 16

right

Answer 17

and if \(a=3\) you would have \(3\) and \(27\) gcf is 3
similarly if it is \(a\) and \(a^3\) then gcf is \(a\)

Answer 18

gcf of \(2a\) and \(40a^3\) is \(2a\)

Answer 19

right

Answer 20

\(2a\) goes in to \(2a\) once and \(2a\) goes in to \(40a^3\) evenly since \(40a^3\div 2a=20a^2\)

Answer 21

so 20a^2 is the answer

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

not final

Answer 24

that wasnt right >.<

Answer 25

the final answer is \(2a\)
