Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} - 24 x + 6 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -2 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -2(4 x^{3} - x^{2} + 12 x - 3) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x^{2}(4 x - 1) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3(4 x - 1) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 4 x - 1 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -2[x^{2} \left(4 x - 1\right) +3 \cdot \left(4 x - 1\right)] = -2\left(4 x - 1\right) \left(x^{2} + 3\right) .
