There is a small error in the first example: the factored form should be x^3(a - b + c - d^2*x^3)
The Common Factor factoring method.

This lesson is a great introduction to factoring by showing how to take out the greatest common factor of a polynomial. This series of videos on factoring does a great job and is very understandable.
It was a good vid. I enjoyed how nicley and clean he taught this lesson.
