The video tutorial covers positive integers and their common factors, focusing on the highest common factor (HCF) or greatest common divisor (GCD). It explains two methods to find the HCF: multiplication and division. The division method is further explored with examples, including cases with non-zero remainders, leading to the introduction of Euclid's division lemma and algorithm. The tutorial emphasizes the practical application of these methods, especially for larger numbers.
