The GCF is the largest factor that divides into both terms in this expression-24x%5E4y%5E3%2B30x%5E2y%5E3. If variables are involved, it will be the LOWEST power of each variable. This would be 6x%5E2y%5E3.

When you take out the NEGATIVE of this common factor, it changes all the signs. What is left is this:
-6x%5E2y%5E3%284x%5E2+-+5%29
