The 8 pages that link to Factor theorem, each with the reason it gives.

• Polynomial factorizationRelated: It connects finding a root directly to extracting a linear factor.

• Polynomial rootRelated: It turns the condition that a value is a root into a factorization test.

• Multiplicity of a rootRelated: It connects each root to the linear factor whose repetitions define its multiplicity.

• Rational root theoremRelated: Clearing a rational root’s denominator turns its factor into an integer linear factor.

• Synthetic divisionRelated: A zero remainder in the procedure certifies that the divisor is a factor.

• Zero of a functionRelated: It turns a known zero into a factor, often reducing the equation’s degree.

• Polynomial remainder theoremRelated: It follows immediately by setting the theorem's remainder p(a) equal to zero.

• Cubic functionRelated: It turns a known cubic root into a linear factor.
