Factor the Greatest Common Factor.
12y^3 + 27y^2
Both terms have a common factor of 3y^2.
12y^3 / (3y^2) = 4y
27y^2 / (3y^2) = 9
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 12y^3 + 27y^2 is 3y^2(4y + 9).
12y^3 + 27y^2
12y^3 / (3y^2) = 4y
27y^2 / (3y^2) = 9
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 12y^3 + 27y^2 is 3y^2(4y + 9).
