Respuesta :

the greatest common factor  is 4xy^3

Answer:

Greatest common factor(GCF) of a polynomial states that the largest polynomial that divides into the polynomials.

Given that: [tex]8xy^5-16x^2y^3+20x^4y^4[/tex]

First find the GCF of the expression.

The GCF of 8, 16 and 20 is 4.

The GCF of [tex]x, x^2 and x^4[/tex] is x.

And the

GCF of [tex]y^5, y^3 and y^4[/tex] is [tex]y^3[/tex]

Combine these to find the GCF of the polynomial is, [tex]4xy^3[/tex]

then;

[tex]8xy^5-16x^2y^3+20x^4y^4[/tex] = [tex]4xy^3(2y^2-4x+5x^3y)[/tex]

Therefore, the greatest common factor of

[tex]8xy^5-16x^2y^3+20x^4y^4[/tex] is [tex]4xy^3[/tex]
