How to find the GCF between two monomials

The video tutorial explains how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of numbers and variables. It begins with an introduction to the concept of GCF, followed by a detailed explanation of factoring and how to determine the GCF of terms. The tutorial then covers finding the GCF for variables with exponents, using division and the power rule of exponents. The video concludes with an example problem to reinforce the concepts discussed.

What is the first step in finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers?

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger one

• Multiply the numbers

• Factor both numbers

• Add the numbers together

When determining the GCF of terms with variables, what should you consider about the exponents?

• Ignore the exponents

• Use the smallest exponent that appears

• Add the exponents together

• Use the largest exponent that divides both terms

What is the GCF of the terms 11a^2 and 11a^4?

• 11a^3

• 11

• 11a^2

• 11a^4

How do you find the GCF of terms with the same base but different exponents?

• Subtract the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Divide the exponents

• Add the exponents

What is the GCF of B^3 and B^5?

• B

• B^5

• B^3

• B^2
