I fail to understand why I am being told by Aleks that the greatest common factor of 15y^3 and 13c^4 is 1.
It seems it should be:
GCF of 13 and 15 = 1
y^3 and c^4 are different terms, therefore it would seem incorrect to say they have a common factor of 1 (like Aleks says it is). So the greatest common factors I would have thought would be:
1*y^3*c^4
What am I missing.
