To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 42m-28n, we need to determine the highest common factor that can divide both terms evenly.
The terms 42m and 28n can be factored as:
42m = 2 * 3 * 7 * m
28n = 2 * 2 * 7 * n
The common factors between the two terms are 2 and 7. Therefore, the GCF of 42m-28n is 2 * 7 = 14.
