Step 1.1

Factor $x^{3} y^{2}$ out of $x^{4} y^{2}$ .

$x^{3} y^{2} (x) - x^{3} y^{5}$

Step 1.2

Factor $x^{3} y^{2}$ out of $- x^{3} y^{5}$ .

$x^{3} y^{2} (x) + x^{3} y^{2} (- 1 y^{3})$

Step 1.3

Factor $x^{3} y^{2}$ out of $x^{3} y^{2} (x) + x^{3} y^{2} (- 1 y^{3})$ .

$x^{3} y^{2} (x - 1 y^{3})$

Step 2

Rewrite $- 1 y^{3}$ as $- y^{3}$ .

$x^{3} y^{2} (x - y^{3})$
