is the opposite of expanding brackets
You need to look for the largest factors you can take out of every term in the expression
Factorising x^2 + bx + c
You need to write the expression with two brackets
x^2 + 7x + 10
You need to find two numbers which add up to 7 and multiply to make 10
5+2=7
5x2=10
When factorising x^2 + bx + x use this table to help find the two numbers
