Reorder the steps to factor a trinomial using the "Slide and Divide" Method.

• Factor the basic trinomial using the "multiply to c and add to b" rule.

• "Divide" both your factors by the value you slid over in Step 1.

• Reduce/simplify fractions and "slide" any remaining denominators in front of the variable.

• "Slide" the a to the end of the trinomial and multiply with c.
