How do you factor the GCF from an expression

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) from mathematical expressions. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by examples of factoring simple binomials and polynomials. The tutorial then covers factoring expressions with variables and common factors, and concludes with advanced techniques such as factoring by grouping. The goal is to simplify expressions and make problem-solving easier by identifying and dividing out common terms.
