Simplifying Rational Expressions We are trying to get common terms to factor ( cancel ) to = 1. You might have to distribute or FOIL to get started. ALWAYS look to factor 1 st …. REMEMBER !!! You CAN NOT factor terms separated by addition and subtraction. ONLY multiplication and ONLY terms that are EXACTLY the same !!!
