The Factor Theorem is not attributed to a single inventor but is a consequence of the work of several mathematicians in the development of polynomial theory. It is closely related to the work of François Viète in the 16th century and was further developed by mathematicians like Isaac newton and later, Augustin-Louis Cauchy. The theorem itself states that a polynomial ( f(x) ) has a factor ( (x - a) ) if and only if ( f(a) = 0 ).
