Maybe you have this:

((4x)^3-(2x)^2+8x-8)/(2x+1)

The rendering tags make it %28%284x%29%5E3-%282x%29%5E2%2B8x-8%29%2F%282x%2B1%29.


highlight_green%28%2864x%5E3-4x%5E2%2B8x-8%29%2F%282x%2B1%29%29

%284%2816x%5E3-x%5E2%2B2x-2%29%2F%282x%2B1%29%29

Would you try polynomial division to find if a remainder occurs, ignoring the factor of 4 ? If a remainder occurs, then the expression is a simple as you can make it, or the green-highlighted expression itself is "simplest".
