Find the greatest common factor 16u^6w^2x^3 and 20w^5x^4

OpenStudy (rcp031):

greatest common factor=4w^2x^3

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

u take the maximum of the values that is contained in boh of. so, here both have w^2, and both has one 4 in common and both has x^3 in common so. 4 * w^2 * x^3 is your answer.

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

both of them*

OpenStudy (rcp031):

16/4 and 20/5 Each number can be divided by 4 hence GCF of 16 n 20 is 4 w and x are in both, using lowest exponets GCF is w^2 * x^3 hence GCF of 16u^6w^2x^3 and 20w^5x^4 is 4 * w^2 * x^3.
