Standardizing Storage Bin Capacities

An operations coordinator is standardizing the storage bins across three warehouse zones. The inventory capacities for these zones are modeled by the algebraic expressions 25m4{}25m^4, 35m3{}35m^3, and 20m2{}20m^2. To optimize storage space, the coordinator uses the prime factorization method to identify their Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

Recall the first two steps of the prime factorization method for these expressions:

  1. State the complete expanded prime factorization for each of the three capacity models: 25m4{}25m^4, 35m3{}35m^3, and 20m2{}20m^2.
  2. Identify and list the specific numerical and variable prime factors that are shared across all three expressions.
