$a^{3} b^{2} + 8 a b^{3} - 2 a b - 4 a b^{2}$

Step 1

Factor $a b$ out of $a^{3} b^{2}$ .

$a b (a^{2} b) + 8 a b^{3} - 2 a b - 4 a b^{2}$

Step 2

Factor $a b$ out of $8 a b^{3}$ .

$a b (a^{2} b) + a b (8 b^{2}) - 2 a b - 4 a b^{2}$

Step 3

Factor $a b$ out of $- 2 a b$ .

$a b (a^{2} b) + a b (8 b^{2}) + a b (- 2) - 4 a b^{2}$

Step 4

Factor $a b$ out of $- 4 a b^{2}$ .

$a b (a^{2} b) + a b (8 b^{2}) + a b (- 2) + a b (- 4 b)$

Step 5

Factor $a b$ out of $a b (a^{2} b) + a b (8 b^{2})$ .

$a b (a^{2} b + 8 b^{2}) + a b (- 2) + a b (- 4 b)$

Step 6

Factor $a b$ out of $a b (a^{2} b + 8 b^{2}) + a b (- 2)$ .

$a b (a^{2} b + 8 b^{2} - 2) + a b (- 4 b)$

Step 7

Factor $a b$ out of $a b (a^{2} b + 8 b^{2} - 2) + a b (- 4 b)$ .

$a b (a^{2} b + 8 b^{2} - 2 - 4 b)$
