Pull out the common factor of 2 ... 2(y^2+6y-16) Then just factor (y^2+6y-16) ... (y-2)(y+8)
Pick any two numbers, x and y that are coprime. That is, they have no factor in common. Then GCF of 9x and 9y will be 9. Pick any two numbers, x and y that are coprime.

Suppose you have a quotient in the form X/Y where X and Y are integers, and you wish to find the simplest form of X/Y. First find the highest common factor of X and Y. Suppose HCF(X, Y) = H Then calculate A = X/H and B = Y/H The simplest form is A/B. If you do not know what the HCF is or the HCF is too hard to find then just find any common factor, F. That is, any number that will divide both X and Y. Then a simpler equivalent of X/Y is (X/F)/(Y/F). Find another common factor and repeat. Keep going until you cannot find a common factor. Your last "simpler equivalent" is the answer.
X + Y (X + Y) ^2 = (X+Y)(X+Y) Factor = (X + Y)
The GCF is 15x^2y^2
1 and Y
The GCF is Y.
The GCF is Y.
GCF(Y, Y) = Y.
GCF(Y, Y) = Y.
Factor 18 and y then look for the largest common factor form both sets of factors. For example, the factors of 18 are 2,3,6,9,18 if y = 30, then its factors are 2,3,5,6,10,15,30 So the greatest common factor is 6
divide everything by the number/variable all terms have in common. Ex: y^3-y^2-y. The gcf is y, so you would reduce it to y(y^2-y-1)
It is similar to finding the greatest common factor only you may have variables involved, so you may factor a constant and variable(s) which all terms are divisible by, for example: The common monomial factor in the following: 5x^2+5x would be 5x because both terms are divisible by 5 and x. 5x (x+1). Just find the constant and variable all terms are divisible by and then the product of those is your common monomial factor.

Pull out the common factor of 2 ... 2(y^2+6y-16) Then just factor (y^2+6y-16) ... (y-2)(y+8)
y4
That depends on the numerical value of Y.
