Other Factoring Notes

Factoring by Grouping allows polynomials to be factored by collecting like terms that share a common factor. The steps involve grouping terms with a common factor, factoring out that common factor, and using parentheses to group the remaining terms. An example shows a polynomial being factored using this method.
