Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The common factor of the expression is 5[tex]x^{3}[/tex]y
B. In order to find a common factor, you find the prime factor. In this case, the biggest number that goes evenly into 40 and 25 is 5.
C. Divide the original problem by the common factor 5[tex]x^{3}[/tex]y
that gives you 5[tex]x^{3}[/tex]y(8x[tex]y^{2}[/tex]-5)
Hope this helps!
