Full solution

Q. What is the greatest common factor of 35y4,14y4 35 y^{4}, 14 y^{4} , and 63y4 63 y^{4} ?
  1. List prime factors: List the prime factors of each number without the variable part.\newlinePrime factors of 3535: 5×75 \times 7\newlinePrime factors of 1414: 2×72 \times 7\newlinePrime factors of 6363: 3×3×73 \times 3 \times 7
  2. Identify common factors: Identify the common prime factors from the prime factorization of the numbers.\newlineThe common prime factor is 77.
  3. Include variable part: Since the variable part is the same for all terms y4y^{4}, we include it in the GCF.\newlineThe variable part is y4y^{4}.
  4. Multiply to find GCF: Multiply the common prime factor by the variable part to find the GCF. \newlineGCF = 7×y47 \times y^{4}
  5. Verify GCF: Verify that the GCF is indeed a factor of all three terms.\newline35y47y4=5y0=5\frac{35y^{4}}{7y^{4}} = 5y^{0} = 5\newline14y47y4=2y0=2\frac{14y^{4}}{7y^{4}} = 2y^{0} = 2\newline63y47y4=9y0=9\frac{63y^{4}}{7y^{4}} = 9y^{0} = 9\newlineSince all results are whole numbers, the GCF is correct.
