Factorizing is putting expressions into brackets to simplify them.

For example 6x3+4x2+2x can be factorized into 2x(3x2+2x+1).

When the bracket is multiplied out, it'll give the original expression:

(2x*3x2)+(2x*2x)+(2x+1)=6x3+4x2+2x

To do this needs a lot of trial and error to get the right combination of numbers and letters in and out of the brackets.

To factorize an algebraic expression, you need to break it down into its prime factors. Look for common factors and divide them out, leaving the expression in its simplest form. You can use methods like factoring by grouping, difference of squares, or trinomial factoring to simplify the expression.
