(x13+6)(x136)
(x^13+6)*(x^13-6)

Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

 1.1      Factoring:  x26-36 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
         A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 36 is the square of 6
Check :  x26  is the square of  x13 

Factorization is :       (x13 + 6)  •  (x13 - 6) 

Final result :

  (x13 + 6) • (x13 - 6)
