Factoring using distributive property

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions using the distributive property. It begins with identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) of terms, then dividing each term by the GCF to simplify the expression. The tutorial also covers rewriting the simplified expression as a multiplication problem and checking the work to ensure accuracy.
