This document discusses different methods of factorizing algebraic expressions:
1) Taking out common factors - factorizing expressions by identifying common numerical or variable factors that can be taken out of groups of terms.
2) Grouping of terms - arranging an expression so terms with common factors can be grouped and factored before extracting the common factor.
3) Using identities - factorizing expressions using factorizing formulas and identities like the difference of two squares. Examples are provided to illustrate each method.

factors Factors of Algebraic Expressions: If algebraic expressions is expressed as the product of • numbers, • algebraic variables or • algebraic expressions, then each of these numbers and expressions is called the factor of algebraic expressions FACTORISING BY Taking out common factors FACTORISING BY Taking out common factors For Example:
Factors Product
i) 7xy( 5xy -3) 35x²y² - 21xy
ii) (4a +5b)(4a-5b) 16a²-25b² iii)(p +3)(p-7) p² - 4p-21 iv) (2x +3)(3x-5) 6x²-x-15 FACTORISING BY GROUPING OF TERMS Factorization by grouping means that we need to group the terms with common factors before factoring. ...
(i) Arrange the given expression such that a
factor can be taken out from each group.
(ii) Factorize each group.
(iii) Now take out the factor common in each
groups. FACTORISING BY GROUPING OF TERMS FACTORISING BY Taking out common factors FACTORISING BY GROUPING OF TERMS Example: FACTORISING using Identities FACTORISING using Identities
