Why can't the expression 13x+10 be factored

The expression 13x + 10 cannot be factored because neither 13 nor 10 are perfect squares. You also cannot factor this expression because x is not squared.

This expression cannot be factored because 13 and 10 do not have a common GCF and they cannot be grouped.
