Learn how to visualize factoring out GCF from a polynomial

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions using the box method. It introduces the concept of the greatest common factor (GCF) and demonstrates how to identify it for both numbers and variables. The tutorial then applies the box method to factor expressions, using an analogy of length and width to simplify the process. The video concludes by showing that regardless of the method used, the final answer remains consistent.

Describe the relationship between the GCF and the side lengths in the box method.

How can you verify that the GCF is correct after factoring?
