Question

what is the greatest common factor of \\(24s^3\\), \\(12s^4\\), and \\(18s\\)?

3
6
3s
6s

Explanation:

Find the greatest common factor of the coefficients

$$ \text{GCF}(24, 12, 18) = 6 $$

Find the greatest common factor of the variable parts

$$ \text{GCF}(s^3, s^4, s) = s^1 = s $$

Combine the numerical and variable factors

$$ \text{GCF}(24s^3, 12s^4, 18s) = 6s $$

Answer:

  • 3
  • 6
  • 3s
  • 6s (Correct answer)
