Choose the lowest of the exponents. The GCF of x3 and x5 is x3
The GCF is 3. No exponents needed.
2 x 52
As a product of its prime factors in exponents: 22*53 = 500
If you construct them correctly, factor trees always work to determine the prime factorization of a number. Once you compare the prime factorizations of two or more numbers, it is relatively easy to find the greatest common factor of them from there.
The exponents are added.

35 5,7 No exponents required.
Choose the lowest of the exponents. The GCF of x3 and x5 is x3
Yes.
You need at least two factor trees to find a GCF.
165 55,3 11,5,3 No exponents required.
The GCF is 3. No exponents needed.
It is: 2*5*7 = 70 and no exponents are needed
Rules for exponents to multiply powers, add the exponents to divide powers, subtract the exponents to find a power of a power, multiply the exponents to find a power of a quotient, apply the power top and bottom to find a power pf a product, apply the exponent to each factor in the product x0 = 1 anything to the power zero equals one x-a = 1/xa a negative exponent means "one over" the positive exponent
You look at the exponents. x5y2 and x3y4 The greatest common factor of these is the largest exponent of each. So the greatest common factor is: x3y2
The prime factors of 20 using exponents is: 22x 5
