Factoring a polynomial with 5 or more terms is very hard and in general impossible using only algebraic numbers. The best strategy here is to guess some 'obvious' solutions and reduce to a fourth or lower order polynomial.

Division of Monomials and Polynomials by Monomials?
to multiplya polynomial by a monomial,use the distributive property and then combine like terms.
How do you factorise 5a minus 20?
You look for a common factor between the two terms, take it out, and use the distributive property.
What is the distributive property in mathematical terms?
a(b + c) = ab + ac
How can you write equivalent expressions with Greatest common factor and the distributive property?
Suppose x and y are two terms with GCF k where the assumption (in this context) is that k is greater than 1. That implies that x = pk and y = qk where p and q are coprime terms. Then x + y = pk + qk and, using the distributive property, this is k*(p + q).

How does Factoring undoes the distributive property?
when you distribute something you are adding one or more term to the other seval term so when you factor it does the opposite. Instead of giving , factoring removes one or more terms from the other several terms.
