Although they are often used interchangeably, "further" and "farther" don't have exactly the same meaning. Basically, "farther" refers to actual distances between objects while further refers to figurative distances or something that is additional or more.

@w-silent I'm sorry but what do u mean by this --->figurative distances or something that is additional or more.
- English (US)
Farther = physical distance.
“I can run farther than you.”
“The sun is farther than the moon.”
Further = more (figurative)
“We can discuss this further later”
“Without waiting any further, the customer left the store.”

Further and farther are used interchangeably, but American English tends to use further for figurative distances and farther for physical distances.
FURTHER
Let's talk about this further after your mother arrives.
Further research is needed to understand the side effects of the vaccine.
FARTHER
When the traffic is bad, taking the farther route home is a better option.
Billy's house is farther than Bob's.
To FURTHER his knowledge of the villager's daily routines, he decided to go FARTHER into the countryside for his observations.
Hope this helps.

@HDGD Exactly! You got it, good job. :) Now with farther, try to think of it as “more far.” Of course “more far” is incorrect English, but it should help you understand the difference.
