Question

Find the greatest common factor of the terms in the following expression: 8m + 18mn.m2 mmn8

Answer 1

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.
