Answer:
GCF is 4ab
And the expression will be: 4ab ( 3a^2+2ab-5b^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the GCF :
12a^3b + 8a^2b^2-20 ab^3
We need to find the common terms that are common in each of the term given above
12,8 and 2 are all divisible by 4
a is common in all terms and b is also common in all terms,
So, GCF is 4ab
Taking 4ab common
12a^3b + 8a^2b^2-20 ab^3=4ab ( 3a^2+2ab-5b^2)
