Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 14c3,70c4 14 c^{3}, 70 c^{4} , and 28c2 28 c^{2} ?
  1. List Prime Factors: List the prime factors of each term.\newlineFor 14c314c^{3}, the prime factors are 22, 77, and cc multiplied by itself three times (cccc*c*c).\newlineFor 70c470c^{4}, the prime factors are 22, 55, 77, and cc multiplied by itself four times (2200).\newlineFor 2211, the prime factors are 22, 22, 77, and cc multiplied by itself twice (2266).
  2. Identify Common Factors: Identify the common prime factors. The common prime factors of 14c314c^{3}, 70c470c^{4}, and 28c228c^{2} are 22, 77, and at least two cc's because those are the factors they all share.
  3. Determine GCF: Determine the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF is the product of the common prime factors using the lowest exponent for the variable cc found in all terms. Since the term with the lowest exponent of cc is c2c^{2}, we use c2c^{2}. The GCF is 2×7×c2=14c22 \times 7 \times c^{2} = 14c^{2}.
