Answer:

It is 8n, because there is no greater term that is the factor of both 32n2 and 56n.

Explanation:

The greatest common factor of the two expression is the term 8n.

It is the highest factor of both expressions that will divide them.

Given:

32n² 56n

Factor them:

2n(16n 28)

4n(8n 14)

8n(4n 7n) - Beyond this, no common factor can divide them both.

Therefore 8n is the greatest common factor of the two.
