In Summary
Factoring is the mathematical process by which an expression (or a number) is represented as a product of its factors. The first step of factoring is always to check for a GCF or Greatest Common Factor. For example, the expression \(2x^2 + 3x\) has a GCF of x and can be factored such that \(2x^2 +3x= (x)(2x + 3)\).
Factoring trinomials is the mathematical process by which a usually quadratic trinomial is represented as a product of its factors. For example, the expression \(x^2 + 3x + 2\) can be factored such that \(x^2 +3x +2= (x+2)(x + 1)\).
Factoring is a useful tool for solving equations and simplifying expressions.
Factoring is a useful tool for solving equations and simplifying expressions, and can also be used to find the GCF of two or more numbers.
