To determine

Find the GCF of $54gh\text{and}72g$

Answer to Problem 26IP

GCF of $54gh\text{and}72g$ is $18g$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Pair of monomials: $54gh\text{and}72g$

Concept Used:

GCF is the greatest common factor of the pair of monomials.

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}54gh=2·3·3·3·g·h\\ 72g=2·2·2·3·3·g\\ \text{GCF}=2·3·3·g=18g\end{array}$

Thus, GCF of $54gh\text{and}72g$ is $18g$
