<PRE><B>Question 179496</B>
Do you want to factor? If so, then...



{{{36a^2b^3-45ab^4}}} Start with the given expression



{{{9ab^3(4a-5b)}}} Factor out the GCF {{{9ab^3}}}



Since the inner expression is a simple binomial with no other common factors or exponents, this means that we cannot factor {{{4a-5b}}} any further.


================================================


Answer:


So {{{36a^2b^3-45ab^4}}} factors to {{{9ab^3(4a-5b)}}}
