Expanded Factorization of Resource Codes

A facilities manager is analyzing two equipment codes, 4x2y4x^2y and 6xy36xy^3, to determine their Greatest Common Factor (GCF). The manager begins by expanding the first code into its simplest factors: 4x2y=22xxy4x^2y = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot x \cdot x \cdot y. Following the same method, what is the complete expanded factorization (prime factors and expanded variables) for the second code, 6xy36xy^3?
