We've worked for a few days on distributing with polynomials. Today we'll start UN-distributing, a process called factoring.

Most of our lecture dealt with factor trees, prime factorization, and building greatest common factors. The homework focuses on using that skill to factor (un-distribute) the greatest common factor. I link to videos for both below.
