But what kind of factoring should I use?

Answer 3

I don't know of any 'kinds of factoring'... sorry :)

Answer 4

I've learned that I can factor using the GCF, I can also use the guess and check method.

Answer 5

There are a couple more ways, but I don't remember what they were called.

Answer 6

Guess and check, I suppose... it's tasky, but gets the job done.
