Answer:

The greatest common factor =
27mn^2

Explanation:

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) ,we have to look for the factors of
54 and
27,then have to look upon the greatest number.

Note: We are finding GCF by listing out he factors.

Factors of
54 are
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54

Factors of
27 are
1.3,9,27

So the greatest among them is
27.

Now for the variables we will find he common terms for
(mn^4),(m^3n^2) we have
(mn^2) as the common terms.

Then the GCF will also include this variables common term.

Finally we have
27(mn^2) as our GCF.

To choose from the situation we will choose
27 ,
(m) and
(n^2) individually.
