To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression \(20x - 4\), we need to factor out the largest common factor from both terms.
1. **Identify the coefficients and the variable:**
- The coefficients are 20 and -4.
- The terms are \(20x\) and \(-4\).
2. **Determine the GCF of the coefficients:**
- The GCF of 20 and 4 is 4.
3. **Factor out the GCF:**
- We can factor out 4 from the expression:
\[
20x - 4 = 4(5x - 1)
\]
Thus, the GCF of the expression \(20x - 4\) is **4.**
