Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the polynomial 7y10+36y5q3+45q6. The GCF of the coefficients 7, 36, and 45 is 1. The GCF of the variable terms y10, y5q3, and q6 is y5, since it is the highest power of y that divides evenly into each term.
Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF from each term in the polynomial. The GCF is y5, so we factor it out: y5(7y5+36q3+45q6/y5) However, we notice that 45q6/y5 is incorrect because we did not divide the q6 term by y5. This is a math error.
