x2(x-1)(x+5)x(x-1)(x+5)x2(x−1)(x+5)x(x−1)(x+5)
Step 1
Step 1.1
Factor xx out of x2(x-1)(x+5)x2(x−1)(x+5).
x((x(x-1))(x+5))x(x-1)(x+5)x((x(x−1))(x+5))x(x−1)(x+5)
Step 1.2
Cancel the common factors.
Step 1.2.1
Factor xx out of x(x-1)(x+5)x(x−1)(x+5).
x((x(x-1))(x+5))x((x-1)(x+5))x((x(x−1))(x+5))x((x−1)(x+5))
Step 1.2.2
Cancel the common factor.
x((x(x-1))(x+5))x((x-1)(x+5))x((x(x−1))(x+5))x((x−1)(x+5))
Step 1.2.3
Rewrite the expression.
(x(x-1))(x+5)(x-1)(x+5)(x(x−1))(x+5)(x−1)(x+5)
(x(x-1))(x+5)(x-1)(x+5)(x(x−1))(x+5)(x−1)(x+5)
(x(x-1))(x+5)(x-1)(x+5)(x(x−1))(x+5)(x−1)(x+5)
Step 2
Step 2.1
Cancel the common factor.
x(x-1)(x+5)(x-1)(x+5)x(x−1)(x+5)(x−1)(x+5)
Step 2.2
Rewrite the expression.
(x)(x+5)x+5(x)(x+5)x+5
(x)(x+5)x+5(x)(x+5)x+5
Step 3
Step 3.1
Cancel the common factor.
x(x+5)x+5x(x+5)x+5
Step 3.2
Divide xx by 11.
