Summary: An example problem on Brilliant.org leaves out a step in solving 2^3 + 6^3
I've spend a couple days trying to understand how the second step of solving the problem 23 + 63, which is 23 + 63 = 23 + (23 * 33) = 23(1 + 33).
It is not clear how this problem gets to 23(1 + 33). I can see that somehow you have to factor one of the 23, but I cannot visualize how that is done. What concept should I review to understand this problem?
