To find the GCF, we need to find the highest power of each variable that appears in all the terms.
For x, the highest power that appears in all three terms is x^2.
For y, the highest power that appears in all three terms is y^2.
For the coefficient, the GCF is 1, since all the terms have a coefficient of 1.
Therefore, the GCF of the terms 3x^2, 5x^2y^2, and 3xy^2 is x^2y^2.
Find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the following terms.
{3x^2,5x^2 y^2,3xy^2}
