You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x%5E7y%5E5%2B30x%5E5y%5E4%2B35xy
step 1
look for factor in co-efficients in all three terms
5 is common
For variable x
look for the smallest index of x
it is x in the third term
look for the factor in y with smallest index
y is the smallest in third
so your factor is 5xy
5xy%28x%5E6y%5E4%2B6x%5E4y%5E3%2B7%29
