Solution:

Step-1: Find the GCF of both terms (Only for constants).

  • 60 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
  • 40 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

We can see that 20 is the highest factor that is common in both numbers.

  • GCF = 20

Using the GCF, factor the distributive property.

  • 60m - 40
  • => 20(3m - 2)

Hoped this helped!
