Again, let's use the difference of squares.

a^2-b^2= (a+b)(a-b)

16x^2-1
(4x+1)(4x-1)

This is an example of difference of squares factoring

Here is how you can deal with it;;;

[tex]16x^2-1=(4x)^2-1^2[/tex]

the first term is the square of 4x and the second one is the square of 1

then, you can write:

[tex][(4x)-1]*[(4x)+1]=[4x-1][4x+1][/tex]


Done...

Hope you got the idea
