Recall

Extracting a common algebraic factor — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Consider \(E=8 x^{3} y + 12 x^{2} y^{2}\).

Find the greatest common numerical factor.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
