To simplify 16/40 using the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to find the largest number that divides evenly into both 16 and 40.
The prime factorization of 16 is 2^4.
The prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5.
The common factor between 16 and 40 is 2^3, or 8.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 8, we get:
16/40 ÷ 8/8 = 2/5
So, 16/40 simplified using the GCF is 2/5.
