SOLUTION: Please help me put this in standard form: (250/72)(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)^2(x^2+4). Usually, I can do these with no problem, but the (250/72) confuses me.

What kind of standard form? Really meant "general form"? Factored form (which is how it is currently shown)? Standard form based on being of quadratic in form as using %28x%5E2%29%5E2? The rational factor can simply be reduced and reduced or not, does not in fact cause any confusion. 250%2F72=125%2F36
