Answer:
1. The greatest common monomial factor is xy
2. xy(6 + 2y² + 3x²)
Step-by-step explanation:
6xy + 2xy³+ 3x³y
1. Determination of the greatest common monomial (GCM) factor.
6xy + 2xy³+ 3x³y
6xy => 2 × 3 × x × y
2xy³ = 2 × x × y × y × y
3x³y = 3 × x × x × x × y
GCM => xy
2. Rewrite the expression
6xy + 2xy³+ 3x³y
GCM => xy
6xy + 2xy³+ 3x³y = xy(6 + 2y² + 3x²)
