Factorization by Grouping of Terms

In order to factorize algebraic expressions containing a binomial as a common factor, we write the expression as the product of the binomial and the quotient obtained by dividing the given expression by this binomial.

Illustration : Factorize:  (y-x)a+(x-y)b

Solution :

 (y-x)a+(x-y)b

=-(x-y)a+(x-y)b      [ Taking (-1) common from (y-x)]

=-(x-y)(-a+b)            [ Taking (x - y) common]

=-(x-y)(b-a)               [because  -a + b = b - a ]
