DefinitionDefinition: Factoring is simply the process of breaking down algebraic expressions into simpler factors or irreducible components. In algebra factoring the prime factors or roots of polynomials, rational expressions and other algebraic expressions is called factoring. Some common factoring strategies in math include factoring trinomials, undergoing factoring by grouping, leveraging special factoring formulas, and factoring by trial and error. It is related to equation solving, simplifying expressions, and function analysis in algebra using factorization in calculus and mathematical modelling. For Example: To factor x2−4, we know that it can be written in terms of the difference of squares (x+2)(x−2)
