Factoring Calculator
Factor expressions step by step
The calculator will try to factor any expression (polynomial, binomial, trinomial, quadratic, rational, irrational, exponential, trigonometric, or a mix of them), with steps shown. To do this, some substitutions are first applied to convert the expression into a polynomial, and then the following techniques are used: factoring monomials (common factor), factoring quadratics, grouping and regrouping, square of sum/difference, cube of sum/difference, difference of squares, sum/difference of cubes, and the rational zeros theorem.
Solution
Your input: factor $$$x^{2} + 1 - \frac{6}{x^{2}}$$$.
Steps are not available.
Answer: $$$x^{2} + 1 - \frac{6}{x^{2}}=\frac{\left(x^{2} - 2\right) \left(x^{2} + 3\right)}{x^{2}}$$$.
