x ^3 - 5x [Find the factor that occurs in both terms. \"x\" occurs in both terms at the most one time]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E3%2Fx-5x%2Fx+%29\"[Factoring-out \"x\" is the same as dividing each term by \"x\"]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%28x%5E2-5%29%29\"
