List all factors of any number with the prime factorization shown, or factor any polynomial completely using the right strategy (GCF, grouping, special forms, AC method, rational root theorem). AskSia handles every factoring task step-by-step.
The AskSia factors solver handles two related tasks. For integers, AskSia finds the complete list of positive factors (divisors), shows the prime factorization with exponents, and counts the total number of factors using the divisor formula. For polynomials, AskSia factors completely by picking the right strategy in order: GCF first always, then check for special forms (difference of squares, sum/difference of cubes), grouping for four-term polynomials, trinomial factoring (with AC method when needed), and the rational root theorem for higher-degree cases.
Both number and polynomial factoring follow strategy hierarchies. GCF first. Then specific patterns. Then general methods. AskSia walks the hierarchy.
For any positive integer, AskSia finds the prime factorization (like 60 = 2² × 3 × 5), then constructs all divisors by combining the primes in every possible way. The complete list of factors is returned, ordered from 1 to n.
If n = p₁^a₁ × p₂^a₂ × ... × pₖ^aₖ, the total number of positive factors is (a₁ + 1)(a₂ + 1)...(aₖ + 1). AskSia computes this directly, useful when only the count is needed.
Always start polynomial factoring by pulling out the greatest common factor of all terms (numeric GCF combined with the lowest power of each variable). AskSia handles this step first on every polynomial.
Difference of squares (a² minus b² = (a + b)(a minus b)), sum of cubes (a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² minus ab + b²)), difference of cubes (a³ minus b³ = (a minus b)(a² + ab + b²)). AskSia recognizes each pattern and applies the formula directly.
For trinomials ax² + bx + c, AskSia finds two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b, then uses them to split the middle term and factor by grouping. The AC method extends regular trinomial factoring to cases with leading coefficient ≠ 1.
For polynomials of degree 3 or higher, AskSia uses the rational root theorem to find candidate rational roots, then synthetic division to factor out (x minus root). This reduces the polynomial's degree by 1, after which the process repeats or factoring is complete.
Snap a photo, paste, or type the integer or polynomial. AskSia handles both inputs and identifies whether to use number factoring or polynomial factoring.
For numbers, the prime factorization is shown and all factors are listed. For polynomials, AskSia walks through the strategy hierarchy: GCF, special forms, grouping, AC method, rational roots.

Factor polynomials by GCF, difference of squares, or simple trinomial factoring. AskSia names the strategy for each step.
Factor cubics, quartics, and higher polynomials using the rational root theorem and synthetic division. AskSia handles the full strategy.
Difference of squares, sum and difference of cubes, perfect square trinomials. AskSia recognizes and applies the formulas directly.
Trinomials with leading coefficient ≠ 1 (like 6x² + 7x + 2). AskSia uses the AC method: find numbers multiplying to ac, adding to b, then group.
Finding the prime factorization of an integer is the foundation for GCF and LCM calculations. AskSia handles all three from the same prime factorization.
