FACTORING POLYNOMIAL
Polynomial is an algebraic expression consisting
of a sum of terms, each of which is a number, a
variable or a product of numbers and variables

Factors (either numbers or polynomials)
– When an integer is written as a product of integers, each
of the integers in the product is a factor of the original
number
– When a polynomial is written as a product of polynomials,
each of the polynomials in the product is a factor of the
original polynomial

Factoring – if the terms of a polynomial have a common

factor, the polynomial can be written as a product.
