Fill in the Blank

In a logistics cost-estimation model, the expression m2−13mn+12n2m^2 - 13mn + 12n^2 represents the relationship between machine hours (mm) and network nodes (nn). When simplifying this model for a budget report, the expression is factored into the form (m−n)(m−kn)(m - n)(m - kn). Based on the factoring rules for two-variable trinomials, what is the value of the missing numerical coefficient kk?
