The factored version of the above statement would be 5(x + 4)

In order to find this, you need to find the greatest common factor of the two coefficients. First, list the factors of each.

Factors of 5: 1, 5

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

Since the highest that exists in both lists is 5, we can divide both terms by 5 and pull it out of the parenthesis like this:

5(w + 4)

Which is your final answer
