Given:

3x4y3 − 15x2y2 + 6xy.

We are asked to factor out completely

3x4y3 − 15x2y2 + 6xy.

Let's get a factor from all the numbers

3 divide by 3 = 1

15 divide by 3 = 5

6 divide by 3 = 2

So lets factor out 3xy

3xy (x³y² - 5xy + 2)

To completely factor the expression 3x4y3 − 15x2y2 + 6xy is:

3xy(x³y² - 5xy + 2)
