Best Answer

Try all the factoring techniques that you have been taught. If none work then it is prime (cannot be factored),

try looking for (1) a greatest common factor

(2) special binomials ... difference of squares, difference (or sum) of cubes

(3) trinomal factoring techniques

(4) other polymonials look for grouping techniques.
