Factorisation 
Points to Remember 
? When we factorize an algebraic expression, we write it as a product of its factors. 
These factors are either numbers or algebraic variables or algebraic expressions. 
? We use following methods of factorisation: 
? Method of common factors 
? Regrouping method 
? Factorisation using following identities: 
? ?? ?? + ?????? + ?? ?? = (?? + ?? )
?? 
? ?? ?? - ?????? + ?? ?? = (?? - ?? )
?? 
? ?? ?? - ?? ?? = (?? - ?? )(?? + ?? ) 
? ?? ?? + (?? + ?? )?? + ???? = (?? + ?? )(?? + ?? ) 
? An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product 
of factors (i.e. prime factor for numbers) eg. ?? + ?? , ?? + ?? , ?? - ?? etc. 
? The general relation for division is: 
???????????????? = ?????????????? × ???????????????? + ???????????????? ?? 
? If Remainder = 0, then divisor is a factor of dividend. Eg.
?? ?? +???? +?? ?? +?? = 
(?? +?? )
?? ?? +?? = ?? + ?? 
? The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variables.e.g. the degree of 
the polynomial ?? ?? + ?? ?? ?? - ???? + ?? is 3 
 
QUESTIONS: 
1. What is the degree of algebraic expression ?? ?? + ???? + ?? ? 
2. If ?? +
?? ?? = v?? , what is the value of ?? ?? +
?? ?? ?? ? 
3. What is the quotient, when we divide ???????? ???? ???? ? 
4. If ?????? is one of the factor of (?? ?? ?? ?? + ?? ????
?? ), what is the other factor ?  
5. What is the HCF of ???? ?? ?? ?? ?? , ???? ?? ?? ?? ?? , ???? ?? ????
?? ?? ?  
6. What is the degree of the quotient of  
(?? ????
