Answer:

GCF: 20

Explanation:

The thing you want to do is factor both numbers down to their lowest primes.

40:2 * 2 * 2 * 5

60:2 * 2 * 5 * 3

Now underline what is in both sets of primes. I'll bold them. The number that is bolded comes from 2 * 2 * 5 which is 20

The highest common factor is 20
