Determine each number's prime factors as follows:
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
25 = 5 × 5
Now identify the common factors and determine the GCF:
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
25 = 5 × 5
Hence:
GCF = 5
Factoring out the GCF from each number gives:
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 8
25 = 5 × 5
We can therefore rewrite this expression as:
5 ( 8 + 5 )
