The process of factoring trinomials entails the simplification of a trinomial into more manageable binomial expressions. This is essentially a reverse operation to the distribution or FOIL method, which is a commonly utilized technique in algebra. The objective is to identify two numbers that not only multiply to the constant term but also add up to the coefficient of the middle term.
