Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 27 x^{3} + 18 x^{2} + 24 x - 16 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -(27 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 24 x + 16) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 9 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 9 x^{2}(3 x - 2) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -8 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -8(3 x - 2) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 3 x - 2 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1[9 x^{2} \left(3 x - 2\right) -8 \cdot \left(3 x - 2\right)] = -\left(3 x - 2\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 8\right) .
