Q. Find the greatest common factor.\newline8q2,6q8q^2, 6q\newlineWrite your answer as a constant times a product of single variables raised to exponents.\newline__\_\_
  1. Factorization of 8q28q^2: First find the complete factorization of 8q28q^2.\newline8=2×2×28 = 2 \times 2 \times 2\newlineq2=q×qq^2 = q \times q\newline8q2=2×2×2×q×q8q^2 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times q \times q
  2. Factorization of 6q6q: Now, find the complete factorization of 6q6q.6=2×36 = 2 \times 3q=qq = q6q=2×3×q6q = 2 \times 3 \times q
  3. Find Greatest Common Factor: We found:\newline8q2=2×2×2×q×q8q^2 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times q \times q\newline6q=2×3×q6q = 2 \times 3 \times q\newlineFind the greatest common factor of 8q28q^2 and 6q6q.\newlineCommon factors are 22 and qq.\newline2×q=2q2 \times q = 2q\newlineGreatest common factor: 2q2q
