Question

factors of 5ab4+5a4b

Answer 1

We need to find the greatest common factor (of GCF) of 5ab^4+5a^4b. TO do so, let's first list all the values of each term in expanded form.

5abbbb
5aaaab

Now let's find the common factors.

5ab is common in both terms.

Now we will divide both terms by 5ab.

5ab(a^3+b^3)
