Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 16 x^{3} + 24 x^{2} + 24 x - 36 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4(4 x^{3} - 6 x^{2} - 6 x + 9) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2}(2 x - 3) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -3 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -3(2 x - 3) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x - 3 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4[2 x^{2} \left(2 x - 3\right) -3 \cdot \left(2 x - 3\right)] = -4\left(2 x - 3\right) \left(2 x^{2} - 3\right) .
