Doolittle's method factorizes a matrix A into lower triangular matrix L and upper triangular matrix U using forward substitution. Crout's factorization method can also be used to factorize positive definite matrices into LL^T and tridiagonal matrices into L and U forms using forward and backward substitution in loops. Both methods break the matrix into triangular factors through sequential updates in nested loops.
