/sci/ - Science & Math

reading a book reviewing my algebra when i come in to contact with:

>Factor: x^7-1

I left as much info from the preceding question to give a hint as to what is going on, so the question wouldn't be too far out of context.

I'll probably just use a online tool to factor this and get the answer, but I'm very curious to know if /sci/ is able to do this equation easily.

personally, i can't. the most math i've completed is calc 1 atm,
