Factor By Grouping

Factor by Groupingby Brendan McLaughlin and Brandon Friedman

Summary:

Factoring By Grouping is the formula used to factor problems with 4 terms.

First what you have to do is group the first 2 terms and the last 2 terms


Then you have to find a common factor to take out of each group

Then combine the two common factors to create a new parentheses and use the other common parentheses between the two

Now put these parentheses together and you have your final answer!
