Having trouble factoring x^3-5x^2-14x-60 given than x-3 is a factor.
====================
x-3 is not a factor.
=====================================
x-3 is a factor of x^3-5x^2-14x+60
------------------------------

    _x^2 - 2x - 20
x-3| x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 60
     x^3 - 3x^2
     ----------
         -2x^2 - 14x
         -2x^2 + 6x
         ------------
               -20x + 60
               -20x + 60  No remainder
