The greatest common factor of two or more numbers is the greatest common factor of the two or more numbers that can divide the numbers without remainder. Factors of 60x^4y^7, 45x^5y^5 and 75x^3y.
60x^4y^7 = 2, 2, 3, 5, x, x, x, x, y, y, y, y, y, y, y
45x^5y^5 = 3, 3, 5, x, x, x, x, x, y, y, y, y, y
75x^3y = 3, 5, 5, x, x, x, y
The common factors are 3, 5, x, x, x, y = 15x^3y (the second option).
Answer:-The greatest common factor of [tex]60x^4y^7,\ 45x^5y^5\ and\ 75x^3y=15x^3y[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given algebraic expressions: [tex]60x^4y^7,\ 45x^5y^5\ and\ 75x^3y[/tex]
Using prime factorization method and law of exponents, rewrite the expressions as
[tex]60x^4y^7=15\times4\times\ x^3\times\ y^6\times\ y\\45x^5y^5=15\times3\times\ x^3\times\ x^2\times\ y^2\times\ y^3\\75x^3y=15\times5\times\ x^3\timesy[/tex]
We can see 15 is the common coefficient,and is the common factor in the expressions
⇒The greatest common factor of = [tex]15x^3y[/tex]
