look at the m's. the lowest m term is m^2, and it is common to them all.
factor it out.
m^2 ( 8m^5+6m^2 -4)
now look at the numbers. a 2 can be factored out:
2m^2 ( 4m^5+3m^2 -2)
That is it.
factor it out.
m^2 ( 8m^5+6m^2 -4)
now look at the numbers. a 2 can be factored out:
2m^2 ( 4m^5+3m^2 -2)
That is it.
