1. Remove the GCF (greatest common factor)
2. Group terms with common factors
3. Remove the GCF of each group (making sure that there will be a common factor in each group)
4. Use distributive property to re-write


8x^3 - 12x^2 + 6x - 9
1.  There is no GCF
2. (8x^3 - 12 x^2) + (6x - 9)
3. 4x^2 (2x - 3) + 3 (2x - 3)  *** (2x - 3) is the common factor of each group.
4. (4x^2 + 3) (2x - 3)
