Question 154209
{{{vw+5w+8v+40}}} Start with the given expression



{{{(vw+5w)+(8v+40)}}} Group like terms



{{{w(v+5)+8(v+5)}}} Factor out the GCF {{{w}}} out of the first group. Factor out the GCF {{{8}}} out of the second group



{{{(w+8)(v+5)}}} Since we have the common term {{{v+5}}}, we can combine like terms



So {{{vw+5w+8v+40}}} factors to {{{(w+8)(v+5)}}}
