To rewrite the expression \( 40s^3 + 40a^5 \) by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF), first identify the GCF of the terms.
Both terms \( 40s^3 \) and \( 40a^5 \) have a common factor of \( 40 \).
Now, factor out the GCF:
\[
40s^3 + 40a^5 = 40(s^3 + a^5)
\]
Thus, the expression rewritten by factoring out the GCF is:
\[
40(s^3 + a^5)
\]
Both terms \( 40s^3 \) and \( 40a^5 \) have a common factor of \( 40 \).
Now, factor out the GCF:
\[
40s^3 + 40a^5 = 40(s^3 + a^5)
\]
Thus, the expression rewritten by factoring out the GCF is:
\[
40(s^3 + a^5)
\]
