Let's try one.
30x2y3z4 + 42x4y5z2
Do the numbers first.
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6
For the variables, select the lowest exponent.
The GCF of the above expression is 6x2y3z2
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
For the variables, select the highest exponent.
The LCM of the above expression is 210x4y5z4
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
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.
A single polynomial cannot have a greatest commonfactor. There is nothing that it will be in common with!
Since no polynomial was given, no answer will be given.
No.
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!
16a2b4
5(x + 3)
Yes.
The greatest common factor is 2 and the least common multiple is also 2.
The greatest common multiple is infinitely large, the least common multiple is 1365, the greatest common factor is 1.
