Find the GCF of 30m+12n

1 answer

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 30m+12n, we need to find the largest expression that can divide both terms, 30m and 12n.

First, let's factor out the greatest common factor from each term:
30m = 2 * 3 * 5 * m
12n = 2 * 2 * 3 * n

Now, let's look at the common factors in both terms:
The common factors are 2 and 3.

To find the GCF, we multiply the common factors together:
GCF = 2 * 3 = 6

Therefore, the GCF of 30m+12n is 6.
