Question

factor out the greatest common factor. if the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial. \\(6m^3 - 18m^2\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCF of coefficients and variables

For coefficients 6 and 18, GCF is 6. For variables \(m^3\) and \(m^2\), GCF is \(m^2\). So overall GCF is \(6m^2\).

Step2: Factor out GCF

Divide each term by \(6m^2\): \(\frac{6m^3}{6m^2}=m\), \(\frac{-18m^2}{6m^2}=-3\). So \(6m^3 - 18m^2=6m^2(m - 3)\).

Answer:

\(6m^2(m - 3)\)
