Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 15n5,30n3 15 n^{5}, 30 n^{3} , and 45n2 45 n^{2} ?
  1. List Prime Factors: List the prime factors of each term.\newlineFor 15n515n^{5}, the prime factors are 33, 55, and n5n^{5}.\newlineFor 30n330n^{3}, the prime factors are 22, 33, 55, and n3n^{3}.\newlineFor 45n245n^{2}, the prime factors are 33, 33 (or 3322), 55, and 3344.
  2. Identify Common Factors: Identify the common prime factors.\newlineThe common prime factors of 15n515n^{5}, 30n330n^{3}, and 45n245n^{2} are 33, 55, and the lowest power of nn that appears in all terms, which is n2n^{2}.
  3. Calculate GCF: Calculate the greatest common factor (GCF).\newlineThe GCF is the product of the common prime factors using the lowest powers of the variables that appear in all terms.\newlineGCF = 3×5×n2=15n23 \times 5 \times n^{2} = 15n^{2}
