Factor completely. Check by multiplying the factors. $y m ^ { 2 } - 8 y m + 16 y$
A) $y ( m - 4 y ) ( m - 4 )$
B) $y ( m - 1 ) ( m - 16 )$
C) $( y m - 4 ) ( m - 4 )$
D) $( m - 4 ) ( m - 4 )$
E) $y ( m - 4 ) ( m - 4 )$

Question

First, factor out the greatest common factor, which is $y$, to get $y(m^2 - 8m + 16)$. The quadratic expression can be factored as $(m - 4)(m - 4)$, leading to the final answer $y(m - 4)(m - 4)$.
