Answer:

3

Explanation:

To find the Greatest common factor (GCF) of 3m-12n we find the highest letters and/or numbers that is a factor of both :

3m-12n

Both have a common factor of 3 :


(3m-12n)/(3) = m-4n

m-4n cannot be simplified anymore so the gcf of 3m-12n is 3.

Hope this helped and have a good day
