Question 293350: I am having difficulty factoring (x^16 - 1). The following is my attempt, will someone please help me with this? My previous post was incorrect regarding initial problem, sorry for any possible confusion. Thanks,
x16 – 1
(x4)4 – 1
(x4 – 1)(x4 + 1)
(x2 – 1)(x4 + 1)(x4 – 1)
(x2 – 1)(x2 + 1)(x4 – 1)
(x+1)(x-1)(x2 + 1)(x4 + 1)
