18a^2+24ad+8d^2
Find common factor that divides them equally, in this case 2.
2(9a^2+12ad+4d^2)
Ignore the 2 for now we'll put it in later.
9a^2+12ad+4d^2
3x3=9
2x2=4
Add them together you get Cross multiply 3x2=6 and the other 3x2=6
6+6=12, there's your b, 3x3=9 is your a 2x2=4 is your c.
(3a^2+2d)(3a^2+2d)
Plug the 2 back in
Final Answer:
2(3a^2d)(3a^2+2d)
