The limitation on picking out a common factor
is lowest power of a symbol (x,y z, etc), or
it must be the greatest common divisor of
the numbers that are common to each term

The common symbols are:
, , and
The lowest power is , so I can
factor out

For the numbers, the greatest common divisor is
so I can factor out a
