See the solution process below:

We can factor each of these terms as:

$15 r^{2} t = 3 \times 5 \times r \times r \times t$ $15r^2t = 3 xx color(red)(5) xx r xx r xx color(red)(t)$

$35 t^{2} = 5 \times 7 \times t \times t$ $35t^2 = color(red)(5) xx 7 xx color(red)(t) xx t$

$70 r t = 2 \times 5 \times 7 \times r \times t$ $70rt = 2 xx color(red)(5) xx 7 xx r xx color(red)(t)$

Therefore the Greatest Common Factor is: $5 t$ $color(red)(5t)$
