Excuse the political intrusion, but how can you justify home-schooling if you as the instructor cannot perform a simple arithmetic operation such as factoring the number 68

Answer 4

I wondered the same thing, Reiny. I also Googled factoring to make sure that I was right -- and found several excellent sites that explain factoring.
