$a^{6} - 3 a^{4} + 8 a^{3} - 4 a^{2}$

Step 1

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $a^{6}$ .

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

Step 2

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $- 3 a^{4}$ .

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

Step 3

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $8 a^{3}$ .

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

Step 4

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

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

Step 5

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $a^{2} a^{4} + a^{2} (- 3 a^{2})$ .

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

Step 6

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $a^{2} (a^{4} - 3 a^{2}) + a^{2} (8 a)$ .

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

Step 7

Factor $a^{2}$ out of $a^{2} (a^{4} - 3 a^{2} + 8 a) + a^{2} \cdot - 4$ .

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