VIII. Factoring: Lecture 1 | 17:51 min
Dr. Eaton begins this new section on Factoring with Special Products. After reviewing prime numbers and composite numbers, you will learn prime factored form and factored form of monomials. Then, you will dive into the greatest common factor with examples covering numbers as well as monomials with variables.
QuickNotes™ 
Special Product
Recall the concepts of prime factor, composite factor, and the prime factorization of a number from your earlier work.
A monomial is in factored form if it is expressed as a product of prime numbers and variables, and no variable has an exponent greater than 1.
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 2 or more monomials is the product of their common factors.
