A common method of factoring numbers is to completely factor the number into positive prime factors. ... Factoring polynomials is done in pretty much the same manner. We determine all the terms that were multiplied together to get the given polynomial. We then try to factor each of the terms we found in the first step.

Factoring a polynomial equation is the process of reducing a polynomial statement to its simplest.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have various factoring alternatives to choose from when solving polynomial equations:
- No matter how many terms a polynomial has, look for the greatest common factor (GCF). The most important phrase that will appear in all of the terms is the greatest common element. Working backward from the distributive property is analogous to using the GCF.
- You can use the FOIL method to multiply binomials backward if the problem is a trinomial (it has three terms).
- If it's a binomial, look for the difference of squares, the difference of cubes, or the sum of cubes.
