Multiply the given algebraic fractions. But first, reduce, reduce, reduce! It is a good rule of thumb to reduce as much as possible before multiplying. So how do you reduce rational expressions? Put the like terms together and cancel the...

Use prime factorization to find the greatest common factor of three given values. What are the factors that all three given numbers have in common? Identify them, and then multiply together to get the greatest common factor. Just like...

Use prime factorization to find the greatest common factor of four given values. What are the factors that all four given values have in common? Identify them, and then multiply together to get the greatest common factor. Just like that....

Sal explains that the most significant common factor of any number is the largest number divisible into both monomials and not necessarily the number with the most significant value. He breaks down two numbers into their prime factors as...

Use division and factoring to determine the leading one coefficient. This presentation thoroughly explains how to factor a trinomial to determine its common factors.

Introduce your class to the greatest factor on earth. The group of videos introduces factoring polynomials by finding the greatest common factor (GCF). They connect finding the GCF of the terms in a polynomial to finding the...

Model how to find the greatest common factor of monomial expressions with a video that works through three examples. The first is a constant, the second a single variable expression, and the third is a multivariable example.

Greatest common factor, least common multiple, prime factorization, multiples, factors, oh my! The instructor in this video shows how to make different lists of factors to find the greatest common factor. So take a peak and see how to...

Use prime factorization to find the greatest common factor of three given values. Okay. But what if there doesn't seem to be any integer that is common in all three given values? Well, then, the greatest common factor must be 1. Not sure...

What is the greatest common factor of two terms in an expression? First prime factor each of the terms. Then find the factors that they have in common. Multiply if needed. That is how to find the greatest common factor. Watch the video...

Examine the process of factoring a greatest common factor from a multivariable polynomial. Here, a video tutorial shows four examples, each increasing in difficulty. The final example has coefficients and several variables.

How do you know that a binomial can be factored using the difference of squares? First try finding the greatest common factor and pulling that out. Then take a look at what is left. Are the coefficients perfect squares? Then it could be...

Using the numbers 225 and 270, the narrator explains how to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple. This presentation could be used in conjunction with other videos in a series exploring how to identify prime...

Factor out the greatest common factor to simplify a rational expression. When the greatest common factor is divided out of the numerator and the denominator what is left is the rational expression in simplest form. Watch as the teacher...

There are four terms in this polynomial. Find the greatest common factor. Remember to prime factor the number values to help find the GFC. Then rewrite the polynomial in simplest form. Not sure about this skill, then watch the instructor...

Teach how to factor trinomials using quadratic methods with this tutorial video. Each example begins by factoring a greatest common factor, resulting in a quadratic factor. The instructor then shows how to factor the quadratic factor.

How do you find the factors of a given number? The teacher will show you how to use a table, test out your answers, and then write all your factors in a list. If you know the divisibility rules, that will also help you out.

Sometimes you'll need to solve an equation with multiple variables on each side. This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to set your equation to 0, factor out the GCF, simplify, write your answers as a set, then plug and chug to...

There are four terms in this polynomial. Try to factor it by grouping the terms. Confused? Try to get four terms into the product of two binomials? Still confused? Watch the instructor as she goes through the steps to group and regroup...

Factor in some time to learn about factors. Learners watch an educational video to understand how to find all of the factors of a given number. They follow along as the narrator works through two such examples by considering the...

Don't get Least Common Multiple mixed up with Greatest Common Factor, it's easy to do. Use the prime factor tree to find the prime factorization of each of the terms given. This is where it gets tricky figuring out the LCM, so watch this...

Multiply two monomial rational expressions and then rewrite the solution in simplest form. Multiplying seems straightforward, but what about the reducing part? Find the greatest common factor. Then divide the numerator by the GCF, and...

Use prime factorization to simplify this algebraic fraction. When the factorization is done then cancel out all values in which a value from the numerator and a value from the denominator equal 1. And what is left over is then the...

How do you find the factors of a given number? The teacher will show you how to use a table, test out your answers, and then write all your factors in a list. If you know the divisibility rules, that will also help you out.
