Let's factor both expressions and see which ones are repeated:

• For gh⁵

We can rewrite this expression as g×h×h×h×h×h

• For 10g⁵h⁴

We can rewrite this expression as 10×g⁴×g×h×h×h×h

As you can see, both expressions have the factor g×h×h×h×h, we can rewrite it as gh⁴.

Then, the greatest common factor of the monomials is gh⁴.
