6x^2 - 28x + 16
\n" ); document.write( "= 2(3x^2 - 14x + 8)
\n" ); document.write( "= 2(3x^2-12x-2x+8)
\n" ); document.write( "= 2(3x(x-4)-2(x-4))
\n" ); document.write( "= 2(x-4)(3x-2)
\n" ); document.write( "=========================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^4 + 2x^3 - 3x - 6
\n" ); document.write( "= x^3(x+2) -3(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "= (x+2)(x^3-3)
\n" ); document.write( "= [(x+2)][(x-3^(1/3))][x^2-3(x^(1/3))+3^(2/3)]
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^8 - 1 (x^4+1)(x^4+1)
\n" ); document.write( "= (x^4+1)(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "============================
