If the trinomial has a greatest common factor, then it is a best practice to first factor out the GCF before attempting to factor it into a product of binomials. If the leading coefficient of a trinomial is negative, then it is a best practice to first factor that negative factor out before attempting to factor the trinomial.

It means that in trinomials of the form \(\ x^{2}+b x+c\) (where the coefficient in front of \(\ x^{2}\) is 1), if you can identify the correct \(\ r\) and \(\ s\) values, you can effectively skip the grouping steps and go right to the factored form.

In other words, \(x^{2}+b x+c\) is factored as \((x+\square)(x+\square)\), the product of the two numbers in the boxes being \(a c=(1)(c)=c\) and the sum of the two numbers in the boxes being \(b\),
