When we factor a polynomial partially or completely, we are breaking that polynomial down into polynomial factors of lower degrees.
If we start from a polynomial of degreen and successfully factor it into lower-degree factors, one of these can happen:
We will have first-degree factors axb from which we have that x=ba is a root;
We will have second-degree factors ax2+bx+ce which we can factor by several techniques, ultimately by the Quadratic Theorem;
We will have higher-degree factors that are of a lower degree than n, which will be easier to irciceed with senihatid ctvemion fide instades.
