Are there different forms of factoring?

 

A denominator is the expression on the bottom of a fraction. A factor is something that an expression is divisible by.

 

You can factor numbers or expressions, even expressions that contain unsolved variables.

 

 

To factor an expression involving addition or subtraction, you must find a common factor, which I'll call just c for convenience. You divide each part of the expression by c, and put the new expression into parentheses with c on the outside.

 

For example... screw it...
