Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that x-2 is a factor of the given equation.
So, if X-2 is a factor, then X=2 will be one of the roots of the equation.
Put X=2 in the equation.
If you get 0( which you will in the given case)
it is proved that x-2 is a factor of the equation.
Now, I am not sure if this is the factor method, but the other factors of the polynomial can be found out by dividing the given eq by x-2.
On dividing you get x^2-x+2 as the quotient.
so the other factors can be obtained by factoring this quotient.
Hope this helps!
