Factor 6x^4y+6x^2-8x^3y

$6 x^{4} y + 6 x^{2} - 8 x^{3} y$

Step 1

Factor $2 x^{2}$ out of $6 x^{4} y$ .

$2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y) + 6 x^{2} - 8 x^{3} y$

Step 2

Factor $2 x^{2}$ out of $6 x^{2}$ .

$2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y) + 2 x^{2} (3) - 8 x^{3} y$

Step 3

Factor $2 x^{2}$ out of $- 8 x^{3} y$ .

$2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y) + 2 x^{2} (3) + 2 x^{2} (- 4 x y)$

Step 4

Factor $2 x^{2}$ out of $2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y) + 2 x^{2} (3)$ .

$2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y + 3) + 2 x^{2} (- 4 x y)$

Step 5

Factor $2 x^{2}$ out of $2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y + 3) + 2 x^{2} (- 4 x y)$ .

$2 x^{2} (3 x^{2} y + 3 - 4 x y)$
