GCF of 12x^2y^3z^,9x^3y,7z^2 Just cant recall how it is done. Thanks, Jax |
Does 12x^2y^3z^ have an exponent at the end? I'll assume that this is 12x^2y^3z The GCF or greatest common factor is the largest factor that divides everything. So first the GCF of 12, 9, and 7 is 1, because any integer greater than 1 can't divide all of them. Since 7z^2 doesn't have an x or a y, we know the GCF can't have an x or a y. Since 9x^3y doesn't have a z, the GCF can't have a z. So the GCF of 12x^2y^3z,9x^3y,7z^2 is 1. Do you have a GCF question with just two terms? |
