👉 Learn how to simplify identities by factoring. Just like in normal algebraic expressions, trigonometric identities can be simplified by factoring out the GCFs from the terms of the identities, then common trigonometric identities like the quotient, reciprocal, even, odd, co-function, and the Pythagoras trigonometric identities can be applied to further reduce the original trigonometric identity. 

The GCF is the greatest identity the terms of the trigonometric identity have in common.
