To factor the quadratic expression \(49x^2 - 28x + 4\), we can look for two numbers that both multiply to \(49 \times 4 = 196\) and add to \(-28\).
The quadratic can also be factored using the method of completing the square or by recognizing it as a perfect square. In this case, we can see that:
\[
49x^2 - 28x + 4 = (7x - 2)^2
\]
So, the factored form is:
\[
(7x - 2)^2
\]
