Question

what is the greatest common factor of 8mn^5+104m^2n^5

Answer 1

First find the gcf of 8 and 104 (list out factors of 8 and 104, then find the largest one common to both)

For the m and n, notice how the first term only has m (instead of the second term, which has n^2)

Therefore, for m, the gcf is only m

Repeat this logic for the n terms

Then multiply the factors together

Answer 2

Thanks!
