To find: the Greatest common factor GCF of monomials
Answer to Problem 12OE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The monomials:
Calculation:
First consider the numerical coefficients of
The GCF of these numbers is the product of each smallest power of the common prime factors.
Both the numbers have no common factor.
So, GCF of 25 and 36
Determine the smallest power of each variable which are the factors of both monomials.
The smallest power of p is
q is not a common factor.
The smallest power of r is
The GCF of
