36x^3y^2z , 60xyz^2
3*12*x*x^2*y*y*z , 5*12*x*y*z*z
So The GCF is 12*x*y*z = 12xyz

Factors of 36 are: 1,2,3,4,6,9,[12],18,36
Factors of 60 are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,[12],15,20,30,60
12 is the greatest common factor of these integers.
x is the common factor.
y is the common factor
z is the common factor
12xyz(x^2y), 12xyz(5z) ans.
