FreeMathHelp.com's Factoring Calculator
Factor Any Expression
Ready for some extra help factoring algebraic expressions? We're trying something new here. FreeMathHelp.com is adding our first AI-powered solver tool to assist with learning. We know AI offers some compelling advantages with math tutoring in particular - and that doesn't mean just getting answers blindly. Working through a step-by-step tutoring engine is a great way to practice and solve a tricky problem.
Don't rely on any one tool to do all the work for you, and always check your work for correctness!
How does it work?
Enter your problem in the box above and click the button to submit your question. Your input should be limited only to common math expressions (see examples below). Please be patient while our AI engine processes your request. If you're not sure what to enter, look over the sample problems below to see the types of expressions this tool can factorise. The solver has been tweaked specifically to provide step-by-step instruction, not just an answer. Remember the idea is to *learn* not to copy solutions blindly. As the solver matures, this will become more clear as the ability to generate large numbers of final answers will be restricted.
This is a brand new feature to FreeMathHelp.com -- give it a whirl and see what you think!
Try factoring:
- x^2 + 5x + 6
- x^2 - 9
- 2x^2 + 7x + 3
- x^3 - 8
- x^2 - 4x + 4
Common Factoring Questions
Here are some questions other visitors have asked on our free math help message board. Perhaps you can learn from the questions someone else has already asked.
- How can i factor f(x) = 2x^2 + x - 6

Final Thoughts
You may want to read up on the quadratic formula to help your algebra knowledge rather than relying on this solver. Afterall, the point is to learn the concept, not just get the answer... right?
Also, while this calculator page is tailored for algebraic expressions, you might be looking to solve for the prime factorization of a number. For example, finding all the prime numbers that divide into 56 (7 and 2). We also have a page on the greatest common factor and a link for least common multiple available.
