Factoring Calculator

Factoring calculator helps to factor any integer (positive or negative) and expression like polynomial, binomial, trinomial. You can easily transform complex expressions and numbers into a product of simpler factors by using the calculator. Calculate factor tree and get step by step calculations.

What Is Factoring?

In mathematics: “Factoring is the technique to factor completely a number or a polynomial expression”

How To Factor Polynomials?

Factoring Polynomials is an important process that can be done by simple steps as follows:

• Look for the greatest common factor (GCF) in the given polynomial expression
• If we found the greatest common factor, then factor it out of polynomial

How to Factor Trinomials?

Trinomial factorization is the technique of multiplying two binomial factors. The generic form of trinomial is the second degree equation and it given as: \(ax^{2}+bx+c\) Let’s consider an example: (x+2)(x+6) x(x+2)+2(x+2) x^2+6x+2x+12 x^2+8x+12 Even though this method helps to find answers without going through so many steps, but the calculator helps you to find a factor of trinomials in a very simple way by just entering an expression.

What Is a Factor of a Number?

“The factors of a number are referred to as the numbers that divide into it exactly” For example, The number 15 has 3 and 5 factors, because: 3×5 = 15 Remember that some numbers have more than one factorization (means more than one way of being factored). For example, 24 contains six factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, so you get 1×24, 2×12, 3×8, or 4×6. So, if 24 is divided by any of these eight factors then the answer you will get is a whole number.

How to Find Factors (Step-by-Step):

Properties of Factor:

These are the properties of factor:

• 1 is the factor for every number
• Every number consists of the factor of itself
• Every factor is less than or equal to the given number
• There are also a finite number of factors

FAQ's:

What Is a Common Factor?

When it comes to finding the factors of two or more numbers, and then to find the factors that are the same (common), they are referred to as the “common factors”.

Factors of Common Numbers:
