Which expression does not factor?

The expression m² + 1 does not factor into polynomials with integer coefficients. The other choices use standard identities: m³ + 1 = (m + 1)(m² − m + 1), m³ − 1 = (m − 1)(m² + m + 1), and m² − 1 = (m − 1)(m + 1). Therefore, the expression that does not factor is m² + 1.
