You can put this solution on YOUR website! find GCF for 20a^3b, 32a^2b^2, and 12ab^3
GCF means "Greatest COMMON Factor"
-------------------
GCF of 20,32,12 is 4
GCF of a^3,a^2,a is a
GCF of b,b^2,b^3 is b
-----
Therefore the GCF you want is 4ab

You can put this solution on YOUR website! GCF is the greatest common factor.
20a^3b, 32a^2b^2, and 12ab^3
-----------------------------------
20a^3b=2*2*5*a*a*a*b
32a^2b=2*2*2*2*2*a*a*b
12ab^3=2*2*3*a*b*b*b
Now you need to find the common factors in each term.
2*2*a*b=4ab is common (contained) in each of these terms.
