Determine the greatest common factor of 24x3y4−15xy2−36x2y3
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the given expression, we need to factorize it first.
Factoring out the common terms gives:
24x^3y^4 − 15xy^2 − 36x^2y^3
Taking out the common factors of x and y from each term:
x * y^2 * (24x^2y^2 − 15 − 36xy)
To further factorize, let's factor out the common factor within the parentheses:
24x^2y^2 − 36xy − 15
= 3(8x^2y^2 − 12xy − 5)
The GCF of the given expression is the product of the common factors:
GCF = x * y^2 * 3
Therefore, the greatest common factor of 24x^3y^4 − 15xy^2 − 36x^2y^3 is 3xy^2.
