-$$4 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 8 } , 16 y ^ { 7 } z ^ { 4 }$$
A) $4 x y z$
B) $2 y ^ { 7 }$
C) $4 y ^ { 7 }$
D) $x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 7 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prime factorization of $4x^3y^8$ is $2^2\cdot x^3 \cdot y^8$ and the prime factorization of $16y^7z^4$ is $2^4 \cdot y^7 \cdot z^4$. The GCF of these two expressions is the product of the common factors raised to the lowest power, which is $2^2 \cdot y^7 = \boxed{	extbf{(C) }4y^7}$.
