GCSE Maths - How to Factorise an Expression into a Bracket #38

The video tutorial explains the process of factorising algebraic expressions by finding the highest common factor of terms. It begins with an introduction to factorising, followed by a detailed example of factorising 8X^2 + 12X. The tutorial then provides two more examples: factorising 9AB + 15B^2 and a three-term expression involving 15, 10, and 20. Each example is broken down step-by-step, demonstrating how to identify common factors and rewrite expressions in bracketed form. The video emphasizes understanding the process and checking the results by expanding the brackets.
