Answer:

[tex]x^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The HCF or the highest common factor (sometimes also known as the greatest common factor, GCF), is the greatest factor between terms.

First, let's expand both terms:

  • [tex]x^3y^2 = x*x*x*y*y[/tex]
  • [tex]x^2 = x*x[/tex]

If we keep them on top of another, we can see that the overlapping variables are [tex]x*x[/tex], meaning that the greatest common factor between them is [tex]x^2[/tex].
