    Each of these eight expressions comes with a nonzero rational factor. Students divide both terms by that factor and write the expression as a product, then expand to check. Easier uses mostly positive proper fractions and smaller integer quotients. On level balances positive and negative factors with varied signs inside the parentheses. Harder uses more negative and improper factors, so students must coordinate signs carefully.
