Find the integrating factor and solve

Find an integrating factor and solve
$(2x^2y + x),dy + (xy^2 + y),dx = 0$



I checked if it was exact, which it wasn't.



Then I found



$M/Y$ to be $xy + 1$



$N/Y$ to be $2xy + 1,$ but when I tried to put it in the form of



$n N/X - mM/Y$ I got $-2xy,$ which didn't really tell me much about the value of $n$ and $m.$



So I tried over by multiplying the original equation by $x^ny^m$ and didn't get two linear equations at the end but two equations, which still had $xy$ terms and am stuck now. Any help would be appreciated.

          Let's do your $x^ny^m$ and see where we get:
          $$underbrace{left(2x^{n+2}y^{m+1}+x^{n+1}y^mright)}_{partial_x},dy+underbrace{left(x^{n+1}y^{m+2}+x^ny^{m+1}right)}_{partial_y},dx=0 $$
          begin{align*}
          2(n+2)x^{n+1}y^{m+1}+(n+1)x^ny^m&overset{text{set}}{=}(m+2)x^{n+1}y^{m+1}+(m+1)x^ny^m \
          2(n+2)xy+n+1&=(m+2)xy+m+1 \
          2(n+2)xy+n&=(m+2)xy+m.
          end{align*}

          So the terms not multiplying $xy$ will have to be equal, forcing $n=m$. Can we get the coefficients of $xy$ to line up? We'd need
          begin{align*}
          2(n+2)&=n+2\
          2n+4&=n+2\
          n&=-2=m.
          end{align*}

          It works! Evidently, the integrating factor is
          $$mu(x,y)=frac{1}{x^2y^2}. $$
          If you multiply through by this, you'll find the equation is now exact.
