What is the greatest common factor of 52x5 and 12x4?. A. 4x4. B. 4x5. C. 6x4. D. 6x5
To answer the question, compute for the greatest common factor of the numerical coefficients, 52 and 12. The GCF is 4. Next, compute for the GCF of x^5 and x^4. The answer is x^4. Thus, the GCF is letter "A. 4x^4.
Answer:
4x4 is the greatest common factor of 52x^5 and 12x^4. (Option A)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x4 is the greatest common factor of 52x^5 and 12x^4.
52x5 = 4x413x
12x^4 = 4x43
The common term in both terms is 4x4
The number next to the x is an exponent (to avoid confusion) another way to write it is:
52x^5 = 4x^413x
12x^4 = 4x^43
