$\frac{x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}}{x}$
Learn how to solve polynomial factorization problems step by step online. Factor by completing the square (x^2-x)/x. Factor the polynomial x^2-x. Add and subtract \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2, replacing b by it's value -1. Now, we can factor x^2+-1x+\frac{1}{4} as a squared binomial of the form \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2. Calculate the square root of \frac{1}{4}. Multiply -1 times \frac{1}{2}.
