The straightforward way to multiply this is to multiply each term of one factor by each term of the other factor. Then add/subtract like terms, if any. With 2 terms in the first factor and 3 terms in the second factor, this makes a total of 6 multiplications.

But there is a much faster way. Your expression matches the sum of cubes pattern, , except with v's and p's instead of a's and b's. If you recognize this then the pattern shows you how it multiplies:
