Question

The HCF of 4x²y+12xy²z+8 xyz² is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The HCF is known as the highest common factor. To find the HCF of two values, we have to take the greatest number that fits into all of their factors.

To start, we can list each value's factors.

For 4x²y, this can also be written as 4*x²*y = 4*x*x*y. In multiplication, we can take the factors of each value that is multiplied. Therefore, we can start with the factors of 4 and then go to the factors of x² and so on. Our factor list is thus 1,2,4,x,x²,y

Similarly, for xy² = x*y*y, our factors are x, y, and y²

The common factors for each of these are x and y. Assuming all values are positive and greater than 1, the x*y will be greater than either x or y. Therefore, the highest common factor would be x*y = xy
