You can put this solution on YOUR website!
100xy%5E2 , 20x , and 25x%5E2
20x , and 25x%5E2 are not multiples of y .
100xy%5E2 , 20x , and 25x%5E2 all have x as a factor,
but x%5E2 is not a common factor for all three expressions.
All three expressions have 5 as a GFC for the coefficients ;
100=5%2A20 , 20=5%2A4 , and 25=5%2A5 .
So GFC%28100xy%5E2%2C20x%2C25x%5E2%29=highlight%285x%29
