Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 20 x^{3} + 40 x^{2} - 8 x + 16 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4(5 x^{3} - 10 x^{2} + 2 x - 4) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 5 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 5 x^{2}(x - 2) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2(x - 2) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x - 2 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -4[5 x^{2} \left(x - 2\right) +2 \cdot \left(x - 2\right)] = -4\left(x - 2\right) \left(5 x^{2} + 2\right) .
