CFactor( <Expression> ): Factorizes a given expression, allowing for complex factors.; Example: CFactor(x^2 + 4) yields (x + 2 ί) (x - 2 ί), the factorization of x² + 4.

CFactor( <Expression>, <Variable> )

Factorizes an expression with respect to a given variable, allowing for complex factors.

Examples:

CFactor(a^2 + x^2, a) yields (ί x + a) (- ί x + a), the factorization of a² + x² with respect to a.
CFactor(a^2 + x^2, x) yields (x + ί a) (x - ί a), the factorization of a² + x² with respect to x.

Note: This command factors expressions over the Complex Rational Numbers. To factor over rational numbers, see the Factor Command.
