Find the greatest common factor (GCF/HCF) of the following polynomials

1.	Find the greatest common factor (GCF/HCF) of the following polynomials2x2 and 12x2
Answer» The numerical coefficients of given numerical are 2, 12 Greatest common factor of 2, 12 is 2 Common literals appearing in given numerical is x Smallest power of x in two monomials = 2 Monomials of common literals with smallest power= x² Hence, the greatest common factor = 2x²

Find the greatest common factor (GCF/HCF) of the following polynomials2x2 and 12x2

Answer»

The numerical coefficients of given numerical are 2, 12

Greatest common factor of 2, 12 is 2

Common literals appearing in given numerical is x

Smallest power of x in two monomials = 2

Monomials of common literals with smallest power= x²

Hence, the greatest common factor = 2x²
