Someone explain how the gcf of x^4 and x^3 equals x^3. this has me stumped.

GCF is the greatest common factor. its the value of the factors that are common to both the numbers being compared. In other words the product of the factors that are common to both numbers or the greatest factor common to both numbers.
factors of x⁴ = x * x * x * x = (x * x * x) * x
factors of x³ = x * x * x = (x * x * x)
factors common to both are (x * x * x) Therefore GCF is x³

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good
