Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 1.1     Factoring  p²+4p+3 

The first term is,  p²  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  +4p  its coefficient is  4 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +3 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 3 = 3 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  3  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   4 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  1  and  3 
                     p² + 1p + 3p + 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    p • (p+1)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (p+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (p+3)  •  (p+1)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

  (p + 3) • (p + 1)
