Factoring out the GCF but forgetting to factor further

The video tutorial explains how to factor a polynomial by identifying and using the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with an introduction to the problem, followed by a detailed process of finding the GCF for both numerical coefficients and variables. The tutorial then demonstrates how to factor the polynomial using the GCF and rearrange the terms to achieve the final factored form. The video concludes by confirming that further factoring is not possible.

After factoring out the GCF, what is the resulting expression?
