Question

what is the gcf of $h^{4}$ and $h^{8}$?
$\bigcirc$ $h^{2}$
$\bigcirc$ $h^{4}$
$\bigcirc$ $h^{8}$
$\bigcirc$ $h^{12}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall GCF rule for exponents

For terms with the same base, the GCF uses the smaller exponent.

Step2: Compare exponents 4 and 8

The smaller exponent is 4, so the GCF is $h^4$.

Answer:

B. $h^4$
