Remember both 16 & 25 are squared numbers.
16 = 4^2 & 25 = 5^2
Hence we can write
(4x)^2 - (5y)^2
Remember two squared terms with a NEGATIVE Between them will factor.
( 4x - 5y)(4x + 5y)
Note the difference signs.
NNB Two squared terms with a positive (+) between them DOES NOT factor.

Greatest common factor of 16x2 and 56x?
The GCF is 8x.
How do you factor 9y2 24xy 16x2?
(4x + 3y)(4x + 3y) or (4x + 3y)2
Find the common factor of all the terms of the polynomial 16x2 - 14x?
2x(8x-7)
How do you you factor 4x3 plus 16x2 -180x?
4x3 + 16x2 - 180x = 4x(x2 + 4x - 45) = 4x(x + 9)(x - 5)
Factor the polynomial expression 16x2 - 25?
16x2 - 25 = (4x + 5) (4x - 5)
What the prime factors of the trinomial 16x -40xy plus 25y?
I think that wants to be 16x2 - 40xy + 25y2 That factors to (4x - 5y)(4x - 5y) or (4x - 5y)2
How do you factor 64x3-y3?
The difference of cubes has a formula. (4x - y)(16x2 + 4xy + y2)
Factor 16x2 - 25?
16x2 - 25 = (4x + 5) ( 4x - 5)
How do you factor 16x2-225?
You need to spot that 16x2 is the square of 4x and that 225 is the square of 15. Notice that the expression is a "difference of 2 squares", which is a standard result in algebra a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) so here we factorise to (4x + 15)(4x - 15)
How do you factor 25y2-36x2?
You can use the formula for the difference of two squares in this case. - In general, for factoring, check whether the expression to be factored corresponds to one of several common forms - as in this case.
