Which expression does not factor?

The expression m² + 1 does not factor into polynomials with integer coefficients. The other expressions have standard factoring patterns: m³ + 1 is a sum of cubes, m³ − 1 is a difference of cubes, and m² − 1 is a difference of squares. Thus, the expression that does not factor is m² + 1.
