Math tutorial factoring out the gcf

The video tutorial explains the concept of prime factorization, starting with the factorization of the number 34 into its prime components, 17 and 2. It then extends the concept to variables, discussing how to express B^4, C^2, and A in terms of their prime factors. The tutorial emphasizes understanding what makes a number prime and how to apply this knowledge to both numbers and algebraic expressions.

What does it mean to write variables in terms of their first degree?

Can you provide the prime factorization for the expression C^2?
