what is the gcf of 35a^2 and 85ab
Greatest common factor? First factor the terms.
7 * 5 * a * a and 17 * 5 * a * b
What is the most that is in common with those two?
I hope this helps.
What is 1+6?
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more terms, we need to identify the common factors and select the greatest one.
Let's break down the given terms: 35a^2 and 85ab.
First, we can find the factors of each term:
Factors of 35a^2: 1, 5, 7, 35, a, a^2
Factors of 85ab: 1, 5, 17, 85, a, b
Now, we need to identify the common factors. In this case, the common factors are 1, 5, and a.
Finally, we select the greatest common factor, which in this case is "5a."
Therefore, the GCF of 35a^2 and 85ab is 5a.
