To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 20x − 4, we need to factor each term and find the highest power that they have in common.
First, let's factor out the common factor from both terms:
20x can be written as 4 * 5 * x.
-4 can be written as -1 * 4.
Now, let's look for the highest power of the common factors in the two expressions.
4 is a common factor.
x is not a common factor.
The highest power of 4 is 4³ = 64.
Therefore, the GCF of 20x − 4 is 4.

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 20x − 4, we need to factorize the expression and find the common factors.
Step 1: Factorize the expression.
In this case, we can factor out a common factor of 4:
20x − 4 = 4(5x − 1).
Step 2: Identify the common factors.
The common factors of 4(5x − 1) are {1, 4}.
Step 3: Find the GCF.
The GCF is the largest common factor, which in this case, is 4.
Therefore, the GCF of 20x − 4 is 4.
