Example(1) `x^2+10x+24`
The coefficients are `a=1,b=10,c=24`
Find pair of factors whose product is `a*c=1 * 24=24` and sum is `b=10`
The pairs of factors for 24 and their sums are `1,24 : 1+24=25`
`2,12 : 2+12=14`
`3,8 : 3+8=11`
`4,6 : 4+6=10`
Factors are `4,6` whose product is `4 * 6=24` and sum is `4+6=10`
So use `4` and `6` to split the `10` coefficient on the middle term
`=x^2+4x+6x+24`
`=x(x+4)+6(x+4)`
`=(x+4)(x+6)`
