Answer: 2m^2n^3

Explanation:

I'm assuming this is the expression:


-\:24m^3n^3\:+\:32m^3\:n^3x\:-\:18m^2\:x^2n^3

Factor 24m^3n^3 by separating all terms (use 2's and 3's as all terms are divisible by them):


2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:3\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:n

Factor 32m^3n^3x:


2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:x

Factor 18m^2x^2n^3:


2\cdot \:3\cdot \:3\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:x\cdot \:x

Common factor (terms that are present in all factored expressions):


2\cdot \:m\cdot \:m\cdot \:n\cdot \:n\cdot \:n

Simplify to:


2m^2n^3
