The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
n^2 - n + n - 1
Have you ever regretted not hitting on a older women?
The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2

Move the nub up to the top:

n^2 - 1
(n - 1)(n + 1)
Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?
So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.
And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
