Answer and step-by-step explanation:
- The Greatest Common Monomial Factor (GCMF) of a set of polynomials is the largest monomial that is a factor of all those polynomials.
- To find it easier, we just have to find the common factors of the coefficients first and then the variables.
- One of the ways in solving this faster is we just have to choose the common variable with the lowest exponent as part of the GCMF.
6m + 8
6 = 1 × 6, 2 × 3
8 = 1 × 8, 2 × 4
Since the term "8" does not have any variables, we also do not have a variable in our GCMF.
Therefore, the GCMF of 6m + 8 is 2.
