What is the GCF of these two expressions?
30w^4v^8 and 24y^3w^6v^2
Please help me figure this out
30w^4v^8 = 2*3*5 w^4 v^8
24y^3w^6v^2 = 2^3*3 y^3 w^6 v^2
The GCF is the highest powers of the factors that appear in both terms:
2*3 w^4 v^2 = 6w^4v^2
No other combination of factors and higher powers divides both terms
