You can put this solution on YOUR website!
we have the polynomial as:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%5E3y%2B14x%5E2y-18xy+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the GCF here would be the factors that are common to all the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the first term has the following factors:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+%282x%5E3%29%2Ay+=+highlight%282%29%2Ahighlight%28x%29%2Ax%2Ax%2Ahighlight%28y%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the second term has the following factors:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2814x%5E2%29%2Ay+=+highlight%282%29%2A7%2Ahighlight%28x%29%2Ax%2Ahighlight%28y%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the third term has the following factors:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+-18x%2Ay++=++%28-1%29%2Ahighlight%282%29%2A3%2A3%2Ahighlight%28x%29%2Ahighlight%28y%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The common factors to all the three terms are highlighed and shown.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the GCF would be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+highlight%282%2Ax%2Ay%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.\r
