$2 b^{6} + 4 b^{2} - 4 b$

Step 1

Factor $2 b$ out of $2 b^{6}$ .

$2 b (b^{5}) + 4 b^{2} - 4 b$

Step 2

Factor $2 b$ out of $4 b^{2}$ .

$2 b (b^{5}) + 2 b (2 b) - 4 b$

Step 3

Factor $2 b$ out of $- 4 b$ .

$2 b (b^{5}) + 2 b (2 b) + 2 b (- 2)$

Step 4

Factor $2 b$ out of $2 b (b^{5}) + 2 b (2 b)$ .

$2 b (b^{5} + 2 b) + 2 b (- 2)$

Step 5

Factor $2 b$ out of $2 b (b^{5} + 2 b) + 2 b (- 2)$ .

$2 b (b^{5} + 2 b - 2)$
