Question

5xy4 25x2y 5x2y2 What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of the monomials shown above?

Answer 1

5xy

Explanation:

I'm going out on a limb and assuming exponents.

`5xy^(2) \\25x^(2)y \\5x^(2) y^(2)`

We can note that 5 is a common factor for the coefficients. All the terms share at least one x. All the terms share all least one y. So the GCF of these monomials is 5xy.
