Factoring the Greatest Common Factor (Introduction)

This factoring tutorial video gives an introduction to factoring the greatest common factor of polynomials. We begin with an introduction to how to find common factors, and then we show you some examples of factoring the greatest common factor from a polynomial. Greatest common factor is always the first thing we want to check when factoring polynomials. Factoring and greatest common factor are commonly found in algebra courses.
