Inventory Management and Factorization
A supply chain analyst is tasked with simplifying two inventory models represented by the algebraic expressions $28x^5 and $42x^3. To find the 'Greatest Common Factor' (GCF) for these models, the analyst must first correctly identify the foundational definitions and rules used in the process. Based on the standard mathematical definition of the GCF, explain what the term 'Greatest Common Factor' specifically means for a set of expressions, and state the specific rule used to determine the exponent of a common variable like 'x' when identifying that GCF.
