How do you find the greatest common factor of 39v, 30uv?

Answer 1

Cameron Arnold

GCM = #3v#

Multiply the two terms by:

#39v=3*13*v# #30uv=2*3*5*u*v#

The GCM is the result of several common elements.

GCM = #3*v#

To find the greatest common factor of 39v and 30uv, first, factor out any common factors. Then, identify the highest power of each common factor. In this case, the common factors are 3, u, and v. The highest power of 3 is 0 (since it doesn't appear in 30uv), the highest power of u is 1 (since it appears once in both terms), and the highest power of v is 1 (since it appears once in 39v). Therefore, the greatest common factor is 3uv.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
