did I solve factoring this expression correctly

Question

did i solve this expression correctly by factoring it completely?

 

   2a^2^c3 - 14bc^3 + 32c^3d^2

 

  = 2c (a^2c^3 - 7bc^3 + 16c^3d^2

 

 

I used the GCF as 2.

Answer 1

Should 2a^2^c3 - 14bc^3 + 32c^3d^2

 

be 2 a^2 c^3 - 14 b c^3 + 32 c^3 d^2 ?

 

If so, GCF = 2 c^3 and

 

2 a^2 c^3 - 14 b c^3 + 32 c^3 d^2

 

= 2 c^3 (a^2 - 7 b + 16 d^2)

Answer 2

The GCF is 2C³

 

Divide each part by 2c³

 

This leaves you with 2c³ (a²- 7b+ 16d²)
