When you factor a number, you break it down into factors that multiply up to the number. For example, 12=3x4.
There is also prime factorize when you factor the number into primes. For example, 100=2^2x5^2.

To factorise is to find the numbers that divide into the original number by only using prime numbers. For example factorise 20 = 2 times 2 times 5
The answer will depend on where the brackets are. In general the solution would be to expand all the brackets, combine like terms and then factorise.
-5
-5
It is: 3(t+3)
It is the opposite of Expanding The Brackets
To factorise is to find the numbers that divide into the original number by only using prime numbers. For example factorise 20 = 2 times 2 times 5
Look in an advanced maths book.Improved answer:-If the discriminant of the quadratic expression is less than zero then it's not possible to factor it.
Well, factorising fully is like finding the hidden treasures within a math problem. It means breaking down an expression into its simplest forms, like finding the roots of a beautiful flower. By factoring fully, you reveal all the factors that make up the original expression, allowing you to see its true beauty and simplicity. Just like adding colors to a painting, factorising fully helps us understand the expression better and appreciate its uniqueness.
a²-a = a(a-1)
Type that into the Wolfram Alpha website. It's a maths website that will pretty much do anything to any maths function you require (e.g graph, factorise, integrate etc...) See related links for the website address - alternatively, Google "Wolfram Alpha" and it takes you straight there. Happy maths-ing!
7x2+49x-42 = 7(x2+7x-6)
to put into brackets
you do (245x)
The answer will depend on where the brackets are. In general the solution would be to expand all the brackets, combine like terms and then factorise.
