x\left(1-x^{5}\right)
Factor out x.
\left(x-1\right)\left(-x^{4}-x^{3}-x^{2}-x-1\right)
Consider 1-x^{5}. By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 1 and q divides the leading coefficient -1. One such root is 1. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x-1.
x\left(x-1\right)\left(-x^{4}-x^{3}-x^{2}-x-1\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial -x^{4}-x^{3}-x^{2}-x-1 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
