Solution steps

Find Least Common Multiplier of

x^{2} - x - 6, x^{2} + 5 x + 6

Factor

x^{2} - x - 6 : (x + 2) (x - 3)

x^{2} - x - 6

Break the expression into groups

x^{2} - x - 6

Definition

Factors of

6 : 1, 2, 3, 6

6

Divisors (Factors)

Find the Prime factors of

6 : 2, 3

6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

Add the prime factors:

2, 3

Add 1 and the number

6

itself

1, 6

The factors of

6

1, 2, 3, 6

Negative factors of

6 : - 1, - 2, - 3, - 6

Multiply the factors by

- 1

to get the negative factors

- 1, - 2, - 3, - 6

For every two factors such that

u * v = - 6,

check if

u + v = - 1

Check

u = 1, v = - 6 : u * v = - 6, u + v = - 5 \Rightarrow

FalseCheck

u = 2, v = - 3 : u * v = - 6, u + v = - 1 \Rightarrow

True

u = 2, v = - 3

Group into

(a x^{2} + ux) + (vx + c)

(x^{2} + 2 x) + (- 3 x - 6)

= (x^{2} + 2 x) + (- 3 x - 6)

Factor out

x

from

x^{2} + 2 x : x (x + 2)

x^{2} + 2 x

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

x^{2} = xx

= xx + 2 x

Factor out common term

x

= x (x + 2)

Factor out

- 3

from

- 3 x - 6 : - 3 (x + 2)

- 3 x - 6

Rewrite

6

3 \cdot 2

= - 3 x - 3 \cdot 2

Factor out common term

- 3

= - 3 (x + 2)

= x (x + 2) - 3 (x + 2)

Factor out common term

x + 2

= (x + 2) (x - 3)

Factor

x^{2} + 5 x + 6 : (x + 2) (x + 3)

x^{2} + 5 x + 6

Break the expression into groups

x^{2} + 5 x + 6
