factorisation
Factorisation is when you take a number or equation and split it into smaller parts that multiply together to make the whole thing. It’s like math’s version of a family reunion, everyone’s there, but no one really wants to talk to each other.
I factorised 12 into 2 and 6, but my brother said 3 and 4 was better. We had a math family feud that lasted the whole weekend.
I tried to factorise x², 25, but I got (x, 5)(x + 5), and my teacher said I did it right, but I still didn’t like it.
When I factorised 16 into 4 and 4, my friend said I should’ve done 2 and 8. I told them both were wrong.
