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

Step 1

Factor $a^{2} b^{2}$ out of $a^{8} b^{4}$ .

$a^{2} b^{2} (a^{6} b^{2}) + a^{2} b^{2}$

Step 2

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

$a^{2} b^{2} (a^{6} b^{2}) + a^{2} b^{2} (1)$

Step 3

Factor $a^{2} b^{2}$ out of $a^{2} b^{2} (a^{6} b^{2}) + a^{2} b^{2} (1)$ .

$a^{2} b^{2} (a^{6} b^{2} + 1)$
