The largest perfect square factor of 40 is 4. A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of an integer with itself, such as 4 (2 x 2) or 9 (3 x 3). In the case of 40, the prime factorization is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5. Since the largest perfect square factor must consist of pairs of the same prime factors, the largest perfect square factor of 40 is 2 x 2 = 4.

You can take out the perfect square 4: root(40) = root(4 x 10) = root(4) x root(10) = 2 root(10).
The square root of 40 is about 6.32
The greatest common factor that is possible for two numbers between 40 and 50 would be 10 if both 40 and 50 are allowed, since 50 - 40 = 10. If only the numbers from 41 to 49 are allowed, the difference is 8, so 8 would be the largest possible common factor, but neither 41 nor 49 are divisible by 8, so that situation does not exist. However, 42 and 49 are both divisible by 7, which is their greatest common factor.
