Find the GCF of the following monomials. -50m 4 n 7 and 40m 2 n 10
Answer:
\(10m^2n^7\)
Step-by-step explanation:
\(-50m^4n^7 \ and \ 40m^2n^{10}\)
WE need to find GCf for both monomials. GCF is the greatest common factor
\(-50 ->-1 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 2\)
\(40 ->2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 2\)
GCF is 2 times 5 =10
GCF of exponent is the lowest exponent
GCF of m^4 and m^2 is m^2
GCF of n^7 and n^10 is n^7
\(-50m^4n^7 \ and \ 40m^2n^{10}\)
GCF is \(10m^2n^7\)
