The document discusses techniques for factoring polynomials, including:
1) Finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of a list of numbers or terms by writing them in prime factored form and identifying the common factors.
2) Factoring out the GCF of a polynomial by writing it as a product of the GCF and remaining terms.
3) Factoring polynomials using grouping, which involves grouping terms with common factors and then factoring the groups.
