8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3

it doesn't deal with angles or geomatry

Answer 1

x^6y^3

Explanation:

Given polynomial:

• 8x^6y^5 - 3x^8y^3

Get prime factors:

• 2*2*2*x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y*y - 3*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y

Common factors of the two terms:

• x*x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y = x^6y^3

So

• x^6y^3(8y^2 - 3x^2)

x^6y^3 is the GCF of this polynomial
