    Can Polynomials be Factored if Numerical Approximations to Roots are Used?

    Yes, I know that is a much more convenient approach and have used that to find the roots, but I need to factorize it for my assignment. Thanks.

    I need to factor x5 - 1.I know (x-1) is a factor and have gotten: (x-1)(x4+x3+x2+x +1) I'm not sure where to go from here. Thanks in Advance.
