Question 170863
Notice how all of the terms have a "t" in common. So we need to look at the smallest exponent. Since the smallest exponent is 2, this means that {{{t^2}}} is the GCF.


Note: because all of the coefficients are 1, this means that the GCF of the coefficients is 1.



====================================


Answer:



So the GCF is {{{t^2}}}



This means that we can factor out {{{t^2}}} from {{{t^6 + t^4 - t^5 + t^2}}} to get {{{t^2(t^4 + t^2 - t^3 + 1)}}}
