To find the other factor of the polynomial

[tex]p^2-13p+36[/tex]

We need to find two integers which multiplication gives 36 and addition is -13.

This integers would be -9 and -4, then we have

[tex]p^2-13p+36=p^2-9p-4p+36[/tex]

now we factor the right term using common factors:

[tex]\begin{gathered} p^2-9p-4p+36=p(p-9)-4(p-9) \\ =(p-9)(p-4) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]p^2-9p-4p=(p-9)(p-4)[/tex]

Therefore, the other binomial we are looking for is (p-4).
