Question

Find the GCF of 24m^4n and 16m^2n.

Answer 1

`8m^2n`

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the GCF (greatest common factor), we have to find the prime factors of each number. Then, we have to find similar factors.

In this exercise, we have:

24m⁴n = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * m * m * m * m * n

16m²n = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * m * m * n

The GCF will be 2 * 2 * 2 * m * m * n

So, The GCF is 8m²n.
