Distributive Property

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. This property is used in factoring to reverse the process of expansion; by factoring out a common factor from each term, you can express the original expression as a product of a common factor and another simpler expression.

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor that divides each term of an expression. Identifying the GCF is a key step in factoring, as it allows you to factor the expression into a product where one of the factors is the GCF, simplifying the overall expression.
