Give the GCF of
25p^2q^3,
45p^5q^2,
75p^4q^3
--------
A. 5p5q3
B. 5pq
C. 5p2q2
D. 45p4q3
----------
It's not D because of the 45.
A, B and C all have a 5
------------------------
Check for the lowest exponent of p: it's 2 in the 1st term.
---------------
Check for the lowest exponent of q: it's 2 in the 2nd term.
--> 5p^2q^2
C
