Partial factorization?

[DrD]

That certainly does the trick! It's not exactly in line with the idea of factoring, at least as far as factoring by hand is concerned, but it gets the job done, and that was the whole point.

Thank you for that very helpful suggestion, Didier. You always seem to come up with the neatest ideas for things like these. I'm not sure how you do it, but I sure am glad you do!
