Each term has a factor of 2.

Try to find any logical combinations of binomial factors for the quadratic expression.
(2_____)(3_____)
(2_____)(3______)
(2____)(3_______)
(2______)(3____)
(6_____)(1_____)
.
?
There are eight combinations to evaluate, and none of them work. The quadratic part without the "2" factor is not factorable any further.
