Question

How do you find the GCF of `15cd^2, 25c^2d)`?

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

Each of the terms can be rewritten as:

`15cd^2 = 3 xx color(red)(5) xx color(red)(c) xx color(red)(d) xx d`

`25c^2d = 5 xx color(red)(5) xx color(red)(c) xx c xx color(red)(d)`

Therefore, the Greatest Common Factor is:

`color(red)(5) xx color(red)(c) xx color(red)(d) = 5cd`
