Answer:

(x2 - x + 1)2 • (x - 2)

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

((((x3)-3x2)+3x)-2)•(x2-x+1)

Step 2 :

Checking for a perfect cube :

2.1 x3-3x2+3x-2 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

2.2 Factoring: x3-3x2+3x-2

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1: 3x-2

Group 2: -3x2+x3

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: (3x-2) • (1)

Group 2: (x-3) • (x2)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.
