Question

What is the greatest common monomial factor of`12x^2 and 8x^3`?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

`12x^2 = 2*2*3*x*x`

`8x^3 = 2*2*2*x*x*x`

For H.C.F., take the factors which are common in both.

So, `the H.C.F. = 2*2*x*x`
=`4x^2`

You can say that `4x^2` is the greatest common monomial factor of `8x^3 and 12x^2`.
