Question

Find the GCF of the following monomials. -50m 4 n 7 and 40m 2 n 10

Answer 1

2 , 1, , 2 if it helps <3

Answer 2

`10m^2n^7`

Explanation:

`-50m^4n^7 \ and \ 40m^2n^(10)`

WE need to find GCf for both monomials. GCF is the greatest common factor

`-50 ->-1 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 2`

`40 ->2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 2`

GCF is 2 times 5 =10

GCF of exponent is the lowest exponent

GCF of m^4 and m^2 is m^2

GCF of n^7 and n^10 is n^7

`-50m^4n^7 \ and \ 40m^2n^(10)`

GCF is
`10m^2n^7`
