Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expressions : [tex]8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12[/tex]
The prime factorization of 8m is given by :-
[tex]8m=2\times2\times2\times m[/tex]
The prime factorization of [tex]36m^3[/tex] is given by :-
[tex]36m^3=2\times2\times3\times3\times m\times \times m[/tex]
The prime factorization of [tex]12[/tex] is given by :-
[tex]12=2\times2\times3[/tex]
We can see that the greatest common factor of [tex]8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12[/tex] is [tex]2\times2=4[/tex]
Thus, the greatest common factor of [tex]8m,\ 36m^3\ and\ 12=4[/tex]
