Abstract: Let $H_4$ and $H_8$ be the Sweedler's and Kac-Paljutkin Hopf algebras, respectively. We prove that any Hopf algebra which factorizes through $H_8$ and $H_4$ (equivalently, any bicrossed product between the Hopf algebras $H_8$ and $H_4$) must be isomorphic to one of the following four Hopf algebras: $H_8øtimes H_4,H_{32,1},H_{32,2},H_{32,3}$. The set of all matched pairs $(H_8,H_4,\triangleright,\triangleleft)$ is explicitly described, and then the associated bicrossed product is given by generators and relations.
