Enter the expression you want to factor in the editor. The Factoring Calculator transforms complex expressions into a product of simpler factors. It can factor expressions with polynomials involving any number of vaiables as well as more complex functions.
Wolfram|Alpha is a great tool for factoring, expanding or simplifying polynomials. It also multiplies, divides and finds the greatest common divisors of pairs of polynomials; determines values of polynomial roots; plots polynomials; finds partial fraction decompositions; and more.
Factor x^2-64. x2 − 64 x 2 - 64. Rewrite 64 64 as 82 8 2. x2 − 82 x 2 - 8 2. Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a2 −b2 = (a+b)(a−b) a 2 - b 2 = (a + b) (a - b) where a = x a = x and b = 8 b = 8.
To factor a trinomial x^2+bx+c find two numbers u, v that multiply to give c and add to b. Rewrite the trinomial as the product of two binomials (x-u)(x-v)

Rewrite x^{2}-64 as x^{2}-8^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
Factor the expression x^2-64. Simplify \sqrt{x^2} using the power of a power property: \left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}. In the expression, m equals 2 and n equals \frac{1}{2}.
