Explain two different ways to find the greatest common factor of [tex]15x^2y^3[/tex] and [tex]24x^4y^2[/tex].

15 x 2 y 3 = 3 x 2 y 2 × 5 y 24 x 4 y 2 = 3 x 2 y 2 × 8 x 2 GCF ( 15 x 2 y 3 ; 24 x 4 y 2 ) = 3 x 2 y 2

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the expressions 15 x 2 y 3 and 24 x 4 y 2 can be found using prime factorization or by applying the GCF formula for algebraic expressions. Both methods yield the same result: 3 x 2 y 2 . Therefore, the GCF is 3 x 2 y 2 .
