#2(4x+1)#

The GCF of 8x and 2 is 2.

To find the GCF, first find the prime factorization of each term.

The prime factorization for 8x is 2, 2, 2, and x (those 4 terms multiply to equal 8x).

The prime factorization for 2 is 2 and 1.

To find the GCF of these two terms, multiply the common factor(s). In this case, since the only common factor is 2, that is the GCF.

Now divide each term by 2 and put the resulting expression within parentheses and put the 2 on the outside.
