factorisation
Factorisation is when you split a number or math problem into smaller pieces that multiply to get the whole thing. It’s like math’s version of a food fight, you break everything down until it’s all over the floor.
I factorised 12 into 3 and 4, but my teacher said I could’ve done 2 and 6. I didn’t care. I was too busy eating my snack.
I tried to factorise x² + 5x + 6, but I got distracted by my phone and ended up with 2 and 3 instead of x + 2 and x + 3.
When I factorised 20, I got 4 and 5, but my friend said I should’ve done 2 and 10. We had a math argument that lasted the whole lunch break.
