Question

Find the greatest common factor of the
following monomials:
40a2b 24a2 b5

Answer 1

Answer:

8a^2 b.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the GCF of 40 and 24:

24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

40 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

The factors common to both are 2*2*2 = 8 which is the GCF.

GCF of a2 and a^2 is a^2 and GCF of b and b^5 is b.
