Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial ever be negative?
No.
What is the negative greatest common factor of -5 and 45?
The negative greatest common factor is a meaningless term because it would always be -1. In this case, the GCF is 5.

2x

What leads you to conclude the GCF is positive -6x2 plus 3x?
The Greatest Common Factor is asking for the largest number. I conclude that positive numbers are larger than negative ones.
How do you find division ladder with negative expression?
It doesn't matter if the expression is negative, the greatest common factor will still be positive, since you only count the left side of the ladder. When the left side is mutiplied together, it will be positive, because the negative side is on the right side. Therefore, just keep dividing the negative, but it will not affect the common factor
Can you get a greatest common factor for negative numbers?
Sure. But since negative numbers have positive factors and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers, the answer will be the same regardless of the sign. The GCF of 4 and 9, -4 and 9, 4 and -9 and -4 and -9 is 1.

If the terms get bigger as you go along, the common difference is positive. If they get smaller, the common difference is negative and if they stay the same then the common difference is 0.
What is the greatest common multiple of 32and 55?
The greatest common multiple of any set of positive numbers is infinity.I suspect you actually want to know the greatest common factor and not multiple.The greatest common factor is 1.
