Answer: (pr + 1)(q + 1)

===============================================

Work Shown:

Use the factor by grouping method to get the following.

pqr + pr + q + 1​

(pqr + pr) + (q + 1​)

pr(q + 1) + 1(q + 1)

(pr + 1)(q + 1)

We can use the FOIL rule, distribution, or the box method to expand out (pr+1)(q+1) to get the original expression again. This helps confirm the answer.
