Question
Find the greatest common factor of the polynomial: $x^3, -yx^2$
✓
Answer
The common literal appearing in the two monomials is $x.$
The smallest power of $x$ in both the monomials is $2. $
Hence, the greatest common factor is $x^2$.
The smallest power of $x$ in both the monomials is $2. $
Hence, the greatest common factor is $x^2$.
