Question

Find the numerical and literal coefficient in the algebraic term $\frac{8}{17}p{q}^4$.

• A. Numerical Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}$
  Literal Coefficient $=p{q}^4$
  
• B. Numerical Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}p{q}^4$
  Literal Coefficient $=p{q}^4$
  
• C. Numerical Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}$
  Literal Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}p{q}^4$
  
• D. Numerical Coefficient $=p{q}^4$
  Literal Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Numerical Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}$

Literal Coefficient $=p{q}^4$

If for example we take an algebraic term as $4x{y}^2$, then its numerical coefficient and literal coefficient can be shown as:



In the question, we are given with an algebraic term $\frac{8}{17}p{q}^4$.

In the algebraic term $\frac{8}{17}p{q}^4$,
Numerical Coefficient $=\frac{8}{17}$
Literal Coefficient $=p{q}^4$

Therefore, option (a.) is the correct answer.
