How does the Factoring and Root Finding Calculator work?
Free Factoring and Root Finding Calculator - This calculator factors a binomial including all 26 variables (a-z) using the following factoring principles:
* Difference of Squares
* Sum of Cubes
* Difference of Cubes
* Binomial Expansions
* Quadratics
* Factor by Grouping
* Common Term
This calculator also uses the Rational Root Theorem (Rational Zero Theorem) to determine potential roots
* Factors and simplifies Rational Expressions of one fraction
* Determines the number of potential positive and negative roots using Descarte’s Rule of Signs
This calculator has 1 input.

What 3 formulas are used for the Factoring and Root Finding Calculator?
a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)
a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)
a3 - b3 = (a - b) (a2 + ab + b2)
