Key Concepts

Distributive Property

The distributive property is a fundamental algebraic rule stating that multiplying a sum by a factor is the same as doing each multiplication separately and then adding the results. This property is essential in factoring, as it allows you to factor out a common element from multiple terms, reversing the process of distribution.

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

The greatest common factor is the largest expression that evenly divides all terms in an algebraic expression without leaving a remainder. It simplifies the expression by condensing repeated factors into a single term, aiding in solving equations and simplifying calculations.
