Hello. I need to find the greatest common divisor of:
and
I know to pull out 3y from the first expression to get:
.

Right there you need to factor the  as 
and get:

.

and 6y from the second expression to get:


Right there you need to factor the  as 
and get:



So you have to get the GCD of

 and 

They have factors , , and  in common.

So the GCF is  which when multiplied out gives
