Answer:

  factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

  both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

__

b) Factor:

  5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.
