Find the GCF between 32 and 40:

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

40 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

Group common prime factors, and multiply them:

2 * 2 * 2 = 8

So, the GCF is 8.

Divide both numbers by this GCF, and you have the simplified result:

32 over 40 = 4 over 5

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
