Here, we show you a step-by-step solved example of factorization. This solution was automatically generated by our smart calculator:

$factor\left(x^2-x-6\right)$
2

Factor the trinomial $x^2-x-6$ finding two numbers that multiply to form $-6$ and added form $-1$

$\begin{matrix}\left(2\right)\left(-3\right)=-6\\ \left(2\right)+\left(-3\right)=-1\end{matrix}$
3

Rewrite the polynomial as the product of two binomials consisting of the sum of the variable and the found values

$\left(x+2\right)\left(x-3\right)$

Final answer to the problem

$\left(x+2\right)\left(x-3\right)$
