Factoring a binomial using distributive property

The video tutorial explains how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of terms, focusing on both numbers and variables. It guides through identifying common factors, calculating the GCF, and dividing terms by the GCF to simplify expressions. The tutorial also covers finding additional factors needed to complete the factorization process.

What is the first step in finding the GCF of two numbers?

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger one

• Multiply the numbers together

• Find the largest number that divides both numbers

• Identify the smallest number

When determining the GCF of variables, what should you look for?

• The variable with the smallest exponent

• The variable with the largest exponent

• The variable that appears most frequently

• The variable that appears least frequently

How do you simplify the expression 10Q / 5Q?

• 5Q

• 2Q

• 2

• Q

What remains after dividing 25Q^2 by 5Q?

• 5

• Q

• Q^2

• 5Q

What is the final factorization of the expression given in the tutorial?

• 5Q and another factor

• 5Q

• 25Q

• 10Q
