Question

Find the common factors of the given terms:

$6abc,24a{b}^2,12a^{2}b$

• A. $12a$
• B. $6ab$
• C. $6$
• D. $ab$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $6ab$

$6ab,24a{b}^2,12a^{2}b$

Here, $6$ is factor of $12$ and $24$ and common variables are $a,b$.

Now,

$6ab=6\times ab$

$24a{b}^2=6\times 4\times ab\times b$

$12a^{2}b=6\times 2\times a\times ab$
$\Rightarrow$ common factors $=6\times ab=6ab$
The common factor is $6ab$.
