The Ratio Method for Factoring Quadratics

Hi all, I just made this post on r/learnmath about a "new" method I found for factoring quadratics (well, factorable quadratics whose linear factor's coefficients are integers) more efficiently than the "AC method".

Feel free to comment there, on my video, or here.

Re: The Ratio Method for Factoring Quadratics

That seems intriguing! 
It's always interesting to see fresh approaches to traditional factoring techniques.  What is the step-by-step comparison between your method and the AC method: a simpler pattern or fewer calculations?  I would be delighted to see your explanation!
