Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 18 x^{3} + 15 x^{2} + 6 x - 5 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -(18 x^{3} - 15 x^{2} - 6 x + 5) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3 x^{2}(6 x - 5) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1(6 x - 5) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 6 x - 5 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1[3 x^{2} \left(6 x - 5\right) -1 \cdot \left(6 x - 5\right)] = -\left(6 x - 5\right) \left(3 x^{2} - 1\right) .
