CCSS.4.OA.B.4
The video tutorial explains how to use prime factors to identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of numbers. It introduces the concept of factor trees as a method for prime factorization. The tutorial provides two examples: finding the GCF of 12 and 56, and the GCF of 20 and 45, using factor trees to break down numbers into their prime factors and identify common factors.
