Answer 2

Answer: 4

Explanation:

The given expressions :
`8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12`

The prime factorization of 8m is given by :-

`8m=2*2*2* m`

The prime factorization of
`36m^3` is given by :-

`36m^3=2*2*3*3* m* * m`

The prime factorization of
`12` is given by :-

`12=2*2*3`

We can see that the greatest common factor of
`8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12` is
`2*2=4`

Thus, the greatest common factor of
`8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12=4`
