To factor this expression it is necessary to find the maximum common divider between 5/6y and 25. This maximum common divider is 5. Now, divide each expression by 5:


\begin{gathered} ((5)/(6))/(5)y=(1)/(6)y \\ (25)/(5)=5 \end{gathered}

Factor the expression, this way:


(5)/(6)y-25=5((1)/(6)y-5)
