#GCF(24v^6y^8u^5,30y^2u^3)=6y^2u^3#

#GCF(24v^6y^8u^5,30y^2u^3)#

to find the GCf take each pair of terms separately and find their GCF

#GCF(24,30)=6#

when finding GCFs of letters , the GCF is the LOWEST power of that letter.

there is no common term with #v#

#GCF(y^8,y^2)=y^2#

#GCF(u^5,u^3)=u^3#

multiplying each GCF term together we have

#GCF(24v^6y^8u^5,30y^2u^3)=6y^2u^3#
