Question

$6a^2{b}^{2}bc$ can also be written in its simplest factor form as

• A. $3\times 2\times a^2\times b^2\times b\times c$
• B. $3\times 2\times a\times b\times c$
• C. $6a^2{b}^{3}c$
• D. $3\times 2\times a\times a\times b\times b\times b\times c$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3\times 2\times a\times a\times b\times b\times b\times c$

$6a^2{b}^{2}bc=3\times 2\times a\times a\times b\times b\times b\times c$

The above expression cannot be simplified any further.

$\therefore$ The simplest (irreducible)factor form of $6a^2{b}^{2}bc$ is

$3\times 2\times a\times a\times b\times b\times b\times c$

So, option D is correct.
