How do you factor a polynomial

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring by the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with an introduction to the importance of understanding factoring and the concept of rewriting expressions as products. The tutorial uses the number 8 to demonstrate basic factoring, then extends the concept to algebraic expressions and polynomials. The process involves identifying the GCF of terms and using it to simplify expressions. The video covers factoring binomials, trinomials, and polynomials with multiple terms, emphasizing the application of the distributive property to verify results.
