You asked:

Find the polynomial greatest common divisor of the following expressions: \(40\), \(a d m\), \(60\)

MathBot Answer:

The greatest common divisor is \(1\).


Begin by factoring all expressions completely. $$\begin{aligned}40 &= 2^{3}\cdot 5\\a d m &= a \cdot d \cdot m\\60 &= 2^{2}\cdot 3\cdot 5\\\end{aligned}$$

Find the greatest common divisor by multiplying common factors together, including only the lowest power of those factors which are common to all expressions. \[\operatorname{gcd}(40, a d m, 60) = = 1\]
