+6b%5E2c-12b%5E2c%5E3%2B3b%5E3c%5E2+
Look for each factor in turn. Firstly what is the common factor of 6, 12 and 3.
Then look for a common factor from b%5E2, b%5E2 and b%5E3
Now look for the common factor fromc, c%5E3 and c%5E2
This gives a common factor of 3b%5E2c
+6b%5E2c-12b%5E2c%5E3%2B3b%5E3c%5E2=3b%5E2c%282-4c%5E2%2Bbc%29+
