54 ^ 9x6 ^ ^ 3x3x3x2 re-write like this: 2 x 33
12(x^2) + 16x - 3 *** notice no equal signs, the following is not equivalent to each other move coefficient x^2 + 16x - 36 (3 * 12) factor that (X + 18) (X - 2) re-put the 12 X+ 18/12 X - 2/12 simplify X + 3/2 x - 1/6 move denominator All that was just a math pattern, this is the actual factor: (2x+3)(6x-1) its kind of weird looking I know but if you re-multiply out you get: 12x^2 + 18x - 2x -3 VOILA!
Divide the factor into the number. If the answer is a whole number, the factor is a factor.
It is a factor of 132, not a prime factor.
I believe the opposite of a factor is a multiple. It could also be a non-factor.
