For this case we must find the GCF of the following expression:
[tex]24y ^ 8 + 6y ^ 6[/tex]
By definition, the largest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that is a factor of both numbers. We find the factors of each number:
24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
6: 1,2,3,6
Thus, the GCF of both numbers is 6
The GCF of the expression is: [tex]6y ^ 6[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]6y ^ 6[/tex]
