Algebra | Factorising to Single Brackets | Maths with Mrs. B

The video tutorial explains the process of factorization by identifying a common factor in expressions and dividing each term by this factor. It provides six examples, demonstrating the step-by-step method to factorize expressions like 3Y + 15, 4W - 6, and others. The tutorial concludes with a challenge for viewers to apply the learned skills.

What is the first step in factorizing an expression?

• Add all the terms together

• Subtract the smallest term from the largest

• Multiply all terms by 2

• Find a common factor for all terms
