w^{4}-5w^{3}-5w^{2}-5w-6=0
To factor the expression, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
±6,±3,±2,±1
By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term -6 and q divides the leading coefficient 1. List all candidates \frac{p}{q}.
w=-1
Find one such root by trying out all the integer values, starting from the smallest by absolute value. If no integer roots are found, try out fractions.
w^{3}-6w^{2}+w-6=0
By Factor theorem, w-k is a factor of the polynomial for each root k. Divide w^{4}-5w^{3}-5w^{2}-5w-6 by w+1 to get w^{3}-6w^{2}+w-6. To factor the result, solve the equation where it equals to 0.

w^{2}+1=0
By Factor theorem, w-k is a factor of the polynomial for each root k. Divide w^{3}-6w^{2}+w-6 by w-6 to get w^{2}+1. To factor the result, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 1\times 1}}{2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 1 for c in the quadratic formula.
w=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4}}{2}
Do the calculations.
w^{2}+1
Polynomial w^{2}+1 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
\left(w-6\right)\left(w+1\right)\left(w^{2}+1\right)
Rewrite the factored expression using the obtained roots.
