When finding the greatest common factor of a polynomial can it ever be larger than the smallest coefficient?
Yes, the greatest common factor is less than or equal to the smallest coefficient. For example, the greatest common factor of 38 and 8 is 2.
How do you find the greatest common factor of a polynomial?
A single polynomial cannot have a greatest commonfactor. There is nothing that it will be in common with!
Can the greatest common factor ever be smaller than the smallest coefficient?
No. The smallest coefficient possible is 1, and the smallest GCF is also 1. You cannot have a common factor of zero.
What is the Greatest Common Factor for the given polynomial?
Since no polynomial was given, no answer will be given.
How do you solve a factoring polynomials problem if there is no greatest common factor?
If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised. If there is no common factor then the polynomial cannot be factorised.
Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial ever be negative?
No.
How do you factor the greatest common multiple from a polynomial?
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
What is the greatest common factor of this polynomial 16a4b4 32a3b5 - 48a2b6?
16a2b4
How do you find greatest common factor of a polynomial equation?
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers or polynomials. If you have only one number or polynomial there is nothing for it to have a factor in common with!
What is the greatest common factor of the terms of the polynomial below 3x4 plus 18x?
3x
How do you factor out the greatest common factor from the polynomial 5x plus 15?
5(x + 3)
What is the greatest common factor of the given polynomial 9xy2 - 24xy plus 15x?
9xy2 - 24xy + 15x
