The common factor of x²y and - xy² is xy. Is the given statement true or false

Solution:

True.

x²y = (x) (x) (y) and - xy² = (-)(x)(y)(y)

Observing the factors, we can say that xy is the common factor between the two terms given.

✦ Try This: State true or false: Common factor of 32a²b³ and 18a³b² is 6ab

The statement is False

∵ 32a²b³ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × a × a × b × b × b

18a³b² = 2 × 3 × 3 × a × a × a × b × b

Now collecting the common terms we get 2a²b²
