Question

What is the greatest common factor of the numerator of (3x^(2)+6x)/(2x)

Answer 1

The given algebraic fraction is

`(3x^2+6x)/(2x)`

We need to find the greatest common factor of the numerator

Since the common factor of 3 and 6 is 3

Since the common factor of x and x^2 is x

Then the greatest common factor is 3x

`(3x(x+2))/(2x)`

The greatest common factor of the numerator is 3x
