To factor the expression \( 45w - 36 \), we start by identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

  1. The coefficients are 45 and 36. The GCF of 45 and 36 is 9.
  2. We can then factor out 9 from the expression:

\[ 45w - 36 = 9(5w - 4) \]

Thus, the expression factored as a product with a whole number greater than 1 is:

\[ 9(5w - 4) \]
