Identify Common Factors: Now, we identify the common factors between the two expressions. The common prime factors are 2 and c×c (which is c2).
Find Lowest Power: We take the lowest power of the common prime factors to find the GCF. The lowest power of 2 that is common in both expressions is just 2. The lowest power of c that is common in both expressions is c2.
Calculate GCF: Multiplying these common factors together gives us the GCF.GCF = 2×c2
