Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 30b2,80b2 30 b^{2}, 80 b^{2} , and 20b3 20 b^{3} ?
  1. List Prime Factors: List the prime factors of each term.\newline30b2=2×3×5×b×b30b^2 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times b \times b\newline80b2=2×2×2×2×5×b×b80b^2 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times b \times b\newline20b3=2×2×5×b×b×b20b^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times b \times b \times b
  2. Identify Common Factors: Identify the common prime factors in all three terms.\newlineThe common prime factors are 22, 55, bb, and bb (since b2b^2 is the lowest power of bb common to all terms).
  3. Find Greatest Common Factor: Multiply the common prime factors to find the greatest common factor (GCF).\newlineGCF = 2×5×b×b=10b22 \times 5 \times b \times b = 10b^2
