90a8n+1b2-25a4n+1b2n+2-240ab4n+2

Factor out 5ab2

5ab2(18a8n-5a4nb2n-48b4n)

The expression in parentheses is a trinomial that factors just like 
                       18x˛-5xy-48y˛ factors as (2x+3y)(9x-16y)

5ab2(2a4n+3b2n)(9a4n-16b2n)

The second expression in parentheses factors as the difference of squares,
                       just like 9x˛-16y˛ factors as (3x-4y)(3x+4y)

5ab2(2a4n+3b2n)(3a2n-4bn)(3a2n+4bn)
