False. A factor of an algebraic expression is a term or expression that multiplies together with other factors to form the whole expression. It is not necessarily separated from the rest of the expression by a plus or minus sign. Factors can also be combined using multiplication or division. For example, in the expression 2x(x + 5), the factors are 2x and (x + 5).
