Factorization
LEVEL-1

 When an expression is the product of two or more expressions, then each of these
expressions is called the factor of the given expression.
 The process of writing a given expression as a product of two or more factors is
called factorization.
 A systematic way of factorizing an expression is common factor method. Also terms
of an expression can be grouped in such a way that all the terms in each group have
a common factor. This is method of regrouping.
 If given expression is in form of x2 + x (a + b) + ab then we factorize it in the form
(x + a) (x + b).
 If the given expression is the difference of two squares, then to factorize it we use
formula a2 − b2 = (a + b) (a − b)
 If the given expression is a complete square, we use following formula to factorize it.
 a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 = (a + b) (a + b)
 a2 − 2ab + b2 = (a − b)2 = (a − b) (a − b)
