To factor the expression \( 8w - 32x \), we can look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

  1. The coefficients are 8 and -32. The GCF of 8 and 32 is 8.
  2. We can factor out 8 from the expression:

\[ 8w - 32x = 8(w - 4x) \]

So, the factored form of the expression is:

\[ 8(w - 4x) \]

The product is written with a whole number greater than 1, which is \( 8 \). Thus, the final answer is:

\[ 8(w - 4x) \]
