Question 49223: We are suppose to find the gcf of the product but I am unsure of where to start. Should I start by sloving the equation or just factoring each term.

This "problem" is posed mathematically incorrectly.
For polynomials, GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is determined, when two or more polynomials are considered.
Here, in this problem, only one polynomial is under the consideration - THEREFORE, it makes no sense
to ask about the GCF - it is not defined.
Simply a person, who created/composed this "problem", does not know the basic definitions
(which happens at this forum practically every day).
The  : as worded, this composition in the incoming post makes no sense.
How @consc198 responds this question, only demonstrates that this person does not know basic definitions, too.
