The video tutorial explains how to identify and use the greatest common factor (GCF) to factor expressions. It begins by defining the GCF and demonstrating how to find it for given terms. The tutorial then guides viewers through the process of factoring expressions by dividing each term by the GCF, emphasizing the importance of rewriting expressions as products. The video concludes by addressing questions and preparing students for more complex problems.

What do you get when you divide 24 by the GCF?

What is the final expression after factoring out the GCF?
