Question

Find the GCF of the following literal terms. m^7 n^4 p^3 and mn^12 p^5

m[]n[]p[]

Answer 1

That would be m n^4 p^3

Answer 2

Answer:

The GCF of following literal terms is $m^1n^4p^3$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given literal terms are

$m^7n^4p^3$

$m^1n^{12}p^5$

The factored form of the given terms are

$m^7n^4p^3=m\times m\times m\times m\times m\times m\times m\times n\times n\times n\times n\times p\times p\times p$

$mn^{12}p^5=m\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times n\times p\times p\times p\times p\times p$

The common factors are m,n,n,n,n,p,p,p. So, the G.greatest common factors is

$GCF=m\times n\times n\times n\times n\times p\times p\times p$

$GCF=m^1n^4p^3$

Therefore the GCF of following literal terms is $m^1n^4p^3$.
