Question

What is the greatest common factor of 8m^{2}8m
2
8, m, squared, 4m4m4, m, and 10m^410m
4
10, m, start superscript, 4, end superscript?

Answer 1

Answer:

2m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions 8m², 4m and 10m⁴, in order to find the greatest common factor, we will find a factor common to all the functions as shown;

8m² = 2*2*(2*m)*m

4m = 2*(2*m)

10m⁴ = (2*m)*5*m³

from the three expansion, it ca be seen that only 2 and m are common to all the function as shown in parentheses.

The greatest common factor factor will be the product of 2 and m i.e 2*m = 2m
