what is the greatest common factor of 6x squared +12x +9

 

what is the greatest common factor of        \(6x^2\qquad and \qquad  12x +9\)

Yes that would be 3

 

BUT

what is the greatest common factor of     \(6x^2 +12x +9\)

 

makes no sense because common means that the factor has to be shared by 2 expressions and there is only ONE expression here.  ://
