Question

what is the greatest common factor of 48r^3s^5 and 64rs^4

Answer 1

Answer:

16rs⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

prime factorization of 48r³s⁵ is:  2·2·2·2·3·r·r·r·s·s·s·s·s

prime factorization of 64rs⁴ is:  2·2·2·2·2·2·r·s·s·s·s

if you were to circle factors common to each you would have:

2·2·2·2·r·s·s·s·s which equals 16rs⁴ which is the GCF
