To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression \(20x - 4\), we can follow these steps:
-
Identify the coefficients and constants: The coefficients are 20 and -4.
-
Find the GCF of the numerical coefficients: The GCF of 20 and 4 is 4.
-
Factor out the GCF from the expression:
\[ 20x - 4 = 4(5x - 1) \]
So, the GCF of the expression \(20x - 4\) is \(4\).
