Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4m%5E5%2B500m%5E2\"$ First, you'll notice that each term has a common factor of $\"4m%5E2\"$ which can be factored out.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4m%5E2%28m%5E3%2B125%29\"$ Now you'll notice that the parentheses contain a sum of two cubes which can also be factored thus: $\"A%5E3%2BB%5E3+=+%28A%2BB%29%28A%5E2-AB%2BB%5E2%29\"$ , so we have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%284m%5E2%28m%2B5%29%28m%5E2-5m%2B25%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
