Question 1183024
.
State the GCF of the terms in the expression 24X(small 3)Y(small 6)-144X(small 2)Y(small 2). Then factor out the GCF.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
Your expression is  24*x^3*y^6 - 144*x^2*y^2.


The GCF of the coefficients is 24.


The GCF of x-factors is  x^2.


The GCF of y-factors is  y^2.


The GCF in whole is  24*x^2*y^2.


The decomposition is  24*x^3*y^6 - 144*x^2*y^2 = 24*x^2*y^2*(x*y^4 - 6).     <U>ANSWER</U>
