MATH 114N Week 3 Test 1 Review Guide
To help with the Unit 1 Review (quite difficult for students), the following explanation of each problem is useful on the Review. Please note that the questions on your Review may have different numbers, but the concept is the same as the following. Remember, the “^” indicates an exponent. We hope this helps!
– To begin, remember that the greatest common factor (GCF) may consist of a number and/or a
– The GCF of the coefficients (numbers) is the largest number that divides into each
– The GCF of the variable(s) is the variable with the smallest exponent that appears on a variable that is in every
