Let's get the numerical coefficients of the monomials...

The numerical coefficient of is 23
The numerical coefficient of is 6

TRIVIA: If x>y and x is prime and y is composite, the greatest common factor(GCF) is 1

Here, 23 is prime
6 is composite
23 > 6

Thus, their GCF is 1
Now, let's get their variable parts

The variable part of is
The variable part of is

is divisible by . Thus, their GCF is...

Multiplying the two GCF's...

Thus, the GCF of and is

Power up,
