Expected result against an unarmored target
unarmored AvD = (41 AvD + 3 for perfect weapon bonus) = 44 AvD
Greatsword base damage factor = 0.625
if multiplicative with perfect weapon:
DF = 0.625 * 1.06 (perfect bonus) * 1.5 (mighty blow bonus) = ~0.994
or
if additive with perfect:
DF = 0.625 * (1 + (0.06 + 0.5)) = 0.975
Actual result:
>cman mblow
You swing a perfect ora greatsword at a giant rat!
AS: +423 vs DS: -36 with AvD: +44 + d100 roll: +63 = +566
... and hit for 528 points of damage!
