How to visualize factor the GCF from a polynomial

The video tutorial addresses common challenges in understanding side lengths and factoring in algebra. It explains why certain variables cannot be used in factoring and guides through identifying the greatest common factor (GCF). The tutorial provides a step-by-step process to factor expressions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing shared terms and correctly applying mathematical operations to reach the final answer.

Describe the process of dividing the GCF by each term in the expression.
