Question

question
identify the greatest common factor of $24x$ and $12bxz$.
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Factor coefficients

Prime factors: $24=2^3\times3$, $12=2^2\times3$
GCF of coefficients: $\gcd(24,12)=12$

Step2: Factor variable terms

Terms have $x$; $24x$ has no $b,z$.
GCF of variables: $x$

Step3: Combine GCF components

Multiply coefficient GCF and variable GCF.

Answer:

$12x$
