Question 583613
Product
Factoring {{{x^2-3x-10}}} is writing it as a product of two or more factors:
{{{x^2-3x-10=(x-5)(x+2)}}}
{{{(x-5)}}} and {{{(x+2)}}}, when they are multiplied are called factors, and the result of the multiplication is called the product of the multiplication.
Factorization is finding the factors when you are given the product.
