How to factor out the GCF of a binomial
In this lesson, you will learn how to factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) of a binomial. You can find the GCF by identifying the largest number that can divide into both terms of the binomial. Then, you can factor out this number and simplify the remaining terms to get the final answer. The lesson also covers how to factor out variables with exponents, and how to divide them correctly to find the GCF.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
