Question

Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial
16x^3+28x^5y
I just need to know which one. I think it is A but if i'm wrong tell me.
A.) 4x^3
B.)4x^5y

Answer 1

16/4 is 4
28/4 is 7 <-- 7 is prime, so no other factors

so, 4 is as much as you can squeeze out of the coefficients
and \(x^3\) is also as much as you can squeeze from the variables
so, yes \(\bf 4x^3\)

Answer 2

Okay thank you!
