Question

What is the Common Factor

3t^5s − 15t^2s^3

Answer 1

Answer:

3t^2s

Step-by-step explanation:

15/3=5

t^5s/t^2s = t^3

t^2s^3/t^2s = s^2

Answer 2

For this case we have by definition, that a polynomial has a common factor when the same quantity, either number or letter, is found in all the terms of the polynomial.

We have the following expression:

$3t ^ 5s-15t ^ 2s ^ 3$

So we have to:

$3t ^ 2s$ is the lowest common term in the terms of the expression:

$3t ^ 2s (t ^ 3-5s ^ 2)$

Answer:

$3t ^ 2s$
