Factorising Expressions: Highest Common Factor and Ladder Method

The video tutorial explains factorization as the inverse of expanding brackets, focusing on two methods: the Highest Common Factor (HCF) method and the Ladder method. The HCF method involves identifying the largest number and common variables in an expression to factorize it. The Ladder method simplifies expressions by dividing in stages. Both methods are demonstrated with examples, highlighting the process of breaking down expressions into simpler components.
