example
x5 + 6x4 + 9x3
To factor this expression, see if each "piece" of the expression has a variable in common. In this case, each piece has an X in common.
Now we factor out the smallest exponent of X that we see in the expression.
x3(x2+6x +9)
You could factor the x squared +6x +9 also, into (x + 3)(x+3)
