Learn about a factorization method called "grouping." For example, we can use grouping to write 2x²+8x+3x+12 as (2x+3) (x+4).

Think of 4 as just a factor. For example, if you had 2x3x4, you would multiply from left to right or use the commutative property to multiply whichever numbers seem more compatible. The …

So it's important that you develop some sort of checklist to use to help make the factoring process easier. Here's one example of such a checklist, in which a series of questions is asked in order …

Learn how to factor a common factor out of a polynomial expression. For example, factor 6x²+10x as 2x (3x+5).

All terms originally had a common factor of 2 , so we divided all sides by 2 —the zero side remained zero—which made the factorization easier. Now solve a few similar equations on …

We can factor numbers like 24 into 2x12, or 3x8, or 4x6...But how can we factor algebraic expressions? We'll see that it's a lot like a puzzle.

Can't get enough of Sal factoring simple quadratics? Here's a handful of examples just for you! Created by Sal Khan and CK-12 Foundation.

The expression 6m+15 can be factored into 3 (2m+5) using the distributive property. More complex expressions like 44k^5-66k^4 can be factored in much the same way. This article …

Learn how to factor quadratic expressions as the product of two linear binomials. For example, 2x²+7x+3= (2x+1) (x+3).
