First re-arrange the quadratic into standard form
432-102m%2B6m%5E2=6m%5E2-102%2B432
Next extracting the common factor 6 from the quadratic.
6m%5E2-102%2B432=6%28m%5E2-17m%2B72%29
Finally factor m%5E2-17m%2B72
The whole process will look like this:
432-102m%2B6m%5E2
=6m%5E2-102%2B432
=6%28m%5E2-17m%2B72%29
=6%28m-14%29%28m-3%29
