It would be 8xy because
8xy (2y) and 8xy (3x)
The greatest common factor between the coefficients (the actual numbers) is 8, now the variables, would be xy
So, the answer would be 8xy
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 16 x y 2 and 24 x 2 y is 8 x y . This is determined by factoring each term to find common prime and variable factors. The GCF combines the lowest powers of all common factors.
