factorise
Break into factors
Factorise (British spelling of factorize) means to break a mathematical expression into factors—components that multiply together to produce the original.
To factorise 12 is to express it as 2 × 2 × 3.
To factorise x² − 9 is to rewrite it as (x + 3)(x − 3).
The term belongs primarily to algebra and number theory: Factorise the quadratic equation.
