IF THE EQUATION IS 14X~2-20X+6 THEN (7X-3)(2X-2)=0 OR X=3/7 & X=1

14x^2-20x+6=0, Now we have an equation of second degree, so we only have to apply the following formula to find the solutions.
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
Then we apply the formula and obtain the following solutions: x=1,x=3/7
Therefore the factors are the following:
(1) 14(x-1)(x-3/7) You can choose which you prefer (1) or (2).
(2) 2(x-7)(7x-3)
