Question

Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression
-36m2n3 – 60mn4 + 18m4n2

Answer 1

Is that:
\[-36m^{2}n^{3} - 60mn^{4} + 18m^{4}n^{2}\]

Answer 2

@Silent_Sorrow, 18 isn't a factor of 60.

Answer 3

\[6mn^2 (-6mn - 10n^2 + 3m^3)\]

Answer 4

@crazyhorserider2:

Take a look at each part. You have a number * M to a power * N to a power.

Look at each part and figure out the factors of each one.
Example:
The factors of -36m^2n^3 are: (-1)(2)(2)(3)(3)(m)(m)(n)(n)(n)

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Then look at what's common between all three parts.

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

Yup
