Learn how to factor out the GCF from a binomial

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions by identifying and factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with an introduction to the concept of factoring and common factors. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the GCF of numbers and variables in an expression. Finally, it shows the process of factoring out the GCF from the expression, providing a step-by-step guide to simplify the expression.

What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numbers 15 and 45?

Which variable is the largest that evenly divides into X^3 and X^2?

How do you factor out the greatest common factor from the expression 15X^3 and 45X^2?

What is the result of dividing 15X^3 by 15X^2?

After factoring out the GCF, what expression do you get from 45X^2?
