Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 40y^2 and 48y, we need to factor out the common factors of the two terms.

First, we factor out the common factor of 8y:
40y^2 = 8 * 5 * y * y = 8y * 5y
48y = 8 * 6 * y = 8y * 6

The GCF of 40y^2 and 48y is 8y.

Now, to factor out the GCF:

40y^2 + 48y = 8y(5y + 6)
