DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at .
Reduce similar several occurrences of \"highlight_red%28+%28x-8%29+%29\" to
It becomes \"1%2F%28x%2B8%29%2F%28x-3%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%2A%28x-3%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at .
Reduce similar several occurrences of \"highlight_red%28+1%2F%28x-3%29+%29\" to
It becomes \"1%2F%28x%2B8%29%2A%28x%2B4%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F%28x%2B8%29%2A%28x%2B4%29\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"
It becomes \"%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B8%29\".
Result: \"%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B8%29\"
