Work out factoring quadratics instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Every real-rooted quadratic factorises as a(x − r₁)(x − r₂) where r₁ and r₂ come from the quadratic formula. When the discriminant is negative no real factorisation exists.
Factored form
ax² + bx + c = a(x − r₁)(x − r₂), r = (−b ± √Δ) / (2a)
The roots are 3 and 2, so it factorises as (x − 3)(x − 2).
Find two numbers multiplying to ac and adding to b. For x² − 5x + 6 that is −2 and −3.
