I don't think even magician can handle this problem. He's probably going to have to get back to you on it.

Why do you need to factor this?

Are you certain that you typed it correctly?

(Evidently you're bad with language arts as well. "im" should be capitalized and apostrophized (in the middle), "can" should be capitalized, and the second sentence should end with an interrogatory.)
