Simplify your answer.)OB. There is no common factor other than 1.

Answer 1

Given: The expression below

$12x^5+6x^7-30x^6$

To Determine: The greatest common factor

Solution

$\begin{gathered} 12x^5+6x^7-30x^6 \\ 6x^5(2+x^2-5x) \end{gathered}$

Hence, the greatest common factor is 6x⁵

The simplified form is 6x⁵(2+x²-5x)
