Mr. Collier explains how to factor quadratics using the greatest common factor (GCF). The video covers factoring quadratics with two and three terms, demonstrating how to identify and factor out the GCF. Advanced techniques for more complex expressions are also discussed, providing a comprehensive guide to mastering quadratic factoring.
