What do you think is the GCF? as a hint, what can u factor out of 7x and 63?

darkknight · Answer

still with me?

darkknight · Answer

Both terms do not have a variable, so we can't factor out x. Now it must be a number we can factor out of both 7x and 63.  
Ill give a hint, what happens if 7 is factored out, do u think it is possible?
