To factor any term, divide by the LCF (largest common factor) of the term. For 5x2-45, the LCF is 5. 5x2-45 = 5(x2-9) It can, of course, be factored even further to become: 5(x2-9) = 45(x2/9 - 1) but when factoring, we usually don't need to go past 5(x2-9) (for example, you've figured out that x2 = 9, thus x = +/- 3.)
It's 15. 15 can divide evenly into 45.
If: 3x = 45 Then: x = 15
6/45 =2/15 because 3 goes into 6 two times and into 45 15 times.
Yes, because 8/15 = 24/45
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The LCF of any set of numbers is 1.

The LCF is 1. The GCF is 45 The LCM is 90.

Since the CFs of neither match, you have to multiply the two numbers together. The answer you get is the LCF. You do the math.
The LCF is 45 because 15 x 3 equals 45 and 9 x 5 equals 45. Now, multiply 8 x 3 to get 24 and 2 x 5 equals 10. 24 plus 10 equals 34. The answer is 34 over 45.
