To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of \( x^5 \), \( x^6 \), and \( x^7 \), we take the lowest power of \( x \) present in the expressions.
The powers of \( x \) are:
- \( x^5 \)
- \( x^6 \)
- \( x^7 \)
The lowest power is \( x^5 \).
Therefore, the GCF of \( x^5 \), \( x^6 \), and \( x^7 \) is:
\[
x^5
\]
