Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!
The common factor of 10x and 5 is
5.
What is a factor?
It's a number that a number is evenly divisible by.
Example: 2 is a factor of 10, because 10 is evenly divisible by 2.
Also, it may be tempting to say, "Well, 2 is the common factor!"
And that's not true in this case, because 5 isn't divisible by 2.
x is also not a common factor; 5 is a constant, it doesn't have any variables next to it.
Hence, the factor is
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{5}}}[/tex]
Hope everything is clear.
If you have any questions, please comment.
