Respuesta :

The three individual terms are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 14x \\ 4xy \\ 18xy^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's write the factors,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 14x=2\cdot7\cdot x \\ 4xy=2\cdot2\cdot x\cdot y \\ 18xy^2=2\cdot3\cdot3\cdot x\cdot y\cdot y \end{gathered}[/tex]

The common factors are >>>

2 and x

So,

GCF = 2x
