How to Factor an Expression using the GCF| Math Defined with Mrs C | 7.EE.A.1

The video tutorial covers factoring the greatest common factor (GCF) from algebraic expressions using two methods: the traditional method and the ladder method. The traditional method involves finding the GCF of terms and using division to factor the expression. The ladder method simplifies the process by eliminating the initial step of finding the GCF. The tutorial also demonstrates factoring more complex expressions where the GCF is not immediately obvious, highlighting the efficiency of the ladder method. The video concludes with examples of simplifying expressions by factoring out the GCF.
