greatest common factor (GCF) of 2 algebraic terms is the largest monomial that evenly divides the two expressions.
We have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 48x^2 \\ \text{and} \\ 32x^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]There are two parts, the numbers and variables.
From the numbers, the largest number we can divide 48 and 32 by is:
16
From the variables, the largest factor is x^2
Putting them together, we can say the GCF is:
[tex]16x^2[/tex]Correct Answer: A
