Find the GCF of the list of monomials.
-$12 x ^ { 2 } y , 20 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } , 24 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 }$
A) $12 x y$
B) $x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 }$
C) $8 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 }$
D) $4 x ^ { 2 } y$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The GCF of the numerical coefficients (12, 20, 24) is 4. The lowest power of $x$ in the monomials is $x^2$, and the lowest power of $y$ is $y$. Therefore, the GCF is $4x^2y$.
