x² +17x + 72
(x + 9)(x + 8)
x + 9 = 0 ∧ x + 8 = 0
x = -9 ∧ x = -8

4v² - 16v + 7
Break the expression into groups
(4v² - 2v) + (-14v + 7)
Factor out 2v from 4v² - 2v and factor out -7 from -14v + 7
2v (2v - 1) - 7 (2v - 1)
(2v - 1) (2v - 7)
2v - 1 = 0 ∧ 2v - 7 = 0
2v = 1 ∧ 2v = 7

Factor out the common term 6
6 (t² - 9)
Factor (t² - 9)
