Exploring Factors and the Greatest Common Factor

The video tutorial covers the concept of factors, demonstrating how to find factors of a number using examples. It introduces the greatest common factor (GCF), explaining its definition and significance. The tutorial provides methods to find the GCF, including listing factors and using prime factorization. It concludes with instructions for an assignment on practicing GCF using IXL.
