That's very tricky using CAS systems. First you must define precisely what "factored" means. For example are you happy with these forms?
(x-√2)(x+√2)
(1/2)(x+1)(2x+2)
4(x+0.5)(x+0.5)
So it may not be simply enough to say "does it multiply out to give the same expression?"

I fully agree "So it may not be simply enough to say "does it multiply out to give the same expression?"
As fully factorized, the expression must be in the form of a product of factors of non-zero degree where each of these factors could not be written as a product of two factors of non-zero degree.
In addition to that factorizations by constants are rather incidental and often unnecessary.
The issue is that several solutions are then acceptable:
For instance factorization of 2x²+6x+4 : both (2x+2)(x+2) and (x+1)(2x+4) could be considered as correct answers.
from algebrite.
Personally I wouldn't accept those as "fully factored" and would insist on 3 factors thus 2(x+1)(x+2)
You can look at something I made in 2009 (
from algebrite.
Your 2009 work is really impressive ;-) I fully tested it. For a given polynom, I observed that 4(0.25x+1)(x+3) is considered as false whereas (x+4)(x+3) is considered as a correct answer. In my opinion the first answer is quite right although learner have probably overthaugth the factorisation rule.
Is there any means with Algebrite to take into account this kind of answers, or maybe how to introduce a kind of thinness in assessment of a factorised expression to accept several close answers.
