What is Factorization?

Usually, factorization or factoring means writing a number (or another mathematical object) as a product of minor or more uncomplicated objects of the same kind.

Given -x-5 is a linear expression.

For factorizing, first, make the coefficient of x positive. For this take -1 common.

⇒ -x-5 = [tex]-1\times(x+5)[/tex]

Now take the greatest common divisor (gcd) of absolute values of coefficients in x+5.

⇒ gcd(1,5) = 1.

Now take gcd 1 common in the expression.

⇒ [tex]-1\times1\times(x+5)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]-1\times(x+5)[/tex].

∴ The fully factorized version of -x-5 is [tex]-1\times(x+5)[/tex].
