Factoring and the Distributive Property

The video tutorial explains the distributive property, showing how a factor multiplied by a sum equals the sum of the factor multiplied by each addend. It demonstrates factoring by removing a common factor from terms and placing it outside parentheses. The example of factoring 6 + 8 is used, showing the process of dividing each term by the common factor and verifying the result by redistributing. The lesson concludes with a summary of the factoring process.
