SOLUTION: Is this correct? I got this answer because 3 and 9 are both factors of 27. But because it says p to the second power multiplied by q to the second power I wrote p times q in parent

Question 1013615: Is this correct? I got this answer because 3 and 9 are both factors of 27. But because it says p to the second power multiplied by q to the second power I wrote p times q in parentheses and added pq to 3 times p times q multiplied by 9 times p times q. Sorry the explanation isnt the best.
Completely factor 9p²q² + 27pq.

9pq(pq + 3pq)

9pq(pq + 3pq) 
Almost! You have the correct GCF: 9pq.

Also, 9p%5E2q%5E2%2F%289pq%29 is indeed pq, but 27pq%2F%289pq%29 is 3, NOT 3pq.
