How to divide out the GCF to factor a polynomial to higher powers

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring a polynomial expression by identifying the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with an introduction to factoring, followed by an explanation of the expression to be factored. The tutorial then guides viewers through identifying the GCF of the terms and using it to factor the expression. Finally, it demonstrates how to derive the final factored form of the polynomial.
