First we need to find the GCF among 12,-40, and 12. The GCF of these numbers is 4, so we can factor out a 4. Since we have common terms of $\"%28p%2B2q%29%5E2\"$ , we can factor that as well. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So lets factor out a 4 and a $\"p%2B2q%29%5E2\"$ term\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%28p%2B2q%29%5E2%283%28p%2B2q%29%5E2-10%28p%2B2q%29%2B3%29\"$ This is our factored expression \n" ); document.write( "
