I have to find the greatest common factor for this:

4^6+8x^4+20x^3

I got the asnwer as 4x^3(x3+2x+5) I plugged it into the math program and it said I was wrong. What am I not getting?

is this supposed to be 4/x/^6+8x^4+20x^3?

If so your answer looks right to me... sweatdrop

It says it is wrong. I even checked the syntax.

oh wait... the computer program just wants the greatest common factor. So your answer its just this...

4x^3

Try putting that in.
