Given:

There is a expression given as


8m+18mn

Required:

We have to find the greatest common factor of given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to factoring is to factor out the greatest factor means common the maximum term from given expression.

so here we also can write the given expression


2*2*2*m+2*3*3*n*m=8m+18mn

not take out 2 and m because nothing else is common


2m(4+9n)=8m+18mn

Final answer:

2m is the greatest common factor of given expression.
