Since the p and the q have nothing in common, the common factor will just be for the coefficients (number part of the terms). The prime factors (from a factor tree) of 12 are 2 x 2 x 3, and those of 30 are 2 x 3 x 5. The only ones they both have in common are 2 and 3, so we multiply these and get the greatest common factor of 6.
The GCF is x2
The greatest common factor of a variable, raised to different powers, is the LOWEST of the powers - in this case, x to the power 2.
they both have the same answer 9
12y3 - 30y2 + 12yFactor out a y:y(12y2 - 30y + 12)Factor out a 6:6y(2y2 -5y + 2)Factor 2y2 - 5y + 26y(2y - 1)(y - 2)
(X2) (X2) = X4 x squared multiplied by x squared is x raised to the 4th power.
The greatest common factor of 40x2 and 20x7 is 20x2
