48cd & 104c^4d
---
Write each in prime factor form:
48cd = 2^4*3*c*d
104c^4d = 2^8*13*c^4d
---------------------------
GCF = 2^4*c*d = 16cd

First, list the prime factorization of each monomial.

48cd: 2*2*2*2*3*c*d

: 2*2*2*13*c*c*c*c*d

Now highlight the factors that the two expressions share in common

48cd: 2*2*2*2*3*c*d

: 2*2*2*13*c*c*c*c*d

Now pick one set of these highlighted values and multiply

2*2*2*c*d=8cd

So the GCF of and is
