Factor by Grouping 2y^3-6ay^2-y+3a

$2 y^{3} - 6 a y^{2} - y + 3 a$

Step 1

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

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

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

$2 y^{2} (y - 3 a) - (y - 3 a)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $y - 3 a$ .

$(y - 3 a) (2 y^{2} - 1)$
