Q. Find the greatest common factor.\newline6k2,9k26k^2, 9k^2\newlineWrite your answer as a constant times a product of single variables raised to exponents.\newline______
  1. Factorization of 6k26k^2: First find the complete factorization of 6k26k^2.6=2×36 = 2 \times 3k2=k×kk^2 = k \times k6k2=2×3×k×k6k^2 = 2 \times 3 \times k \times k
  2. Factorization of 9k29k^2: Now, find the complete factorization of 9k29k^2. \newline9=3×39 = 3 \times 3\newlinek2=k×kk^2 = k \times k\newline9k2=3×3×k×k9k^2 = 3 \times 3 \times k \times k
  3. Find Greatest Common Factor: We found:\newline6k2=2×3×k×k6k^2 = 2 \times 3 \times k \times k\newline9k2=3×3×k×k9k^2 = 3 \times 3 \times k \times k\newlineFind the greatest common factor of 6k26k^2 and 9k29k^2.\newlineCommon factors are 33, kk, and kk.\newline3×k×k=3k23 \times k \times k = 3k^2\newlineGreatest common factor: 3k23k^2
