→ To factorize it we must find the greatest common factor of the 3 terms
∵ The common factor of 3, 6, and 3 is 3
∵ The common factor of x^3, x^2, and x is x
∴ The greatest common factor of the 3 terms is 3x
→ Divide each term by 3x
→ Now we must factorize the bracket into two factors
∴ The complete factorization is
