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.

Think about it. When you're factoring -3, you're essentially dividing all terms by -3 and then multiplying that -3 again. So, divide -3x^2 by -3. You get x^2. Then, divide +21x by -3. You get …

What is factoring? Factoring is the process of breaking down a polynomial into smaller pieces (or "factors") that, when multiplied together, will give you the original polynomial.

Factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) To factor the GCF out of a polynomial, we do the following:

Factoring a polynomial involves writing it as a product of two or more polynomials. It reverses the process of polynomial multiplication. In this article, we'll learn how to factor perfect square …

So we're going to see that we might be able to do some simple factoring like this, and even factoring multiple times. We might also start to appreciate structure that brings us back to …

In practice, you'll rarely be told what type of factoring method (s) to use when encountering a problem. So it's important that you develop some sort of checklist to use to help make the …

What you will learn in this lesson In this article, we will learn how to use a factoring method called grouping.

Let's do one that traditionally would have been a pretty painful problem if we just tried to do it by factoring, especially if we did it using grouping or something like that.

What you need to know for this lesson Factoring a polynomial involves writing it as a product of two or more polynomials. It reverses the process of polynomial multiplication. For more on this, …
