%28x%5E2-64%29%2F%28x%5E2-13x%2B40%29.......factor first

%28x%5E2-8%5E2%29%2F%28x%5E2-13x%2B40%29

%28%28x%2B8%29+%28x-8%29%29%2F%28x%5E2-8x-5x%2B40%29+

%28%28x%2B8%29+%28x-8%29%29%2F%28%28x%5E2-8x%29-%285x-40%29%29+

%28%28x%2B8%29+%28x-8%29%29%2F%28x%28x-8%29-5%28x-8%29%29+

%28%28x%2B8%29+%28x-8%29%29%2F%28%28x-5%29+%28x-8%29%29

%28%28x%2B8%29+cross%28%28x-8%29%29%29%2F%28%28x-5%29+cross%28%28x-8%29%29%29
