Step 1

Reorder the expression.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Move $12 z^{2}$ .

$16 c^{3} y - 8 c^{4} y + 12 z^{2}$

Step 1.2

Reorder $16 c^{3} y$ and $- 8 c^{4} y$ .

$- 8 c^{4} y + 16 c^{3} y + 12 z^{2}$

Step 2

Factor $- 4$ out of $- 8 c^{4} y$ .

$- 4 (2 c^{4} y) + 16 c^{3} y + 12 z^{2}$

Step 3

Factor $- 4$ out of $16 c^{3} y$ .

$- 4 (2 c^{4} y) - 4 (- 4 c^{3} y) + 12 z^{2}$

Step 4

Factor $- 4$ out of $12 z^{2}$ .

$- 4 (2 c^{4} y) - 4 (- 4 c^{3} y) - 4 (- 3 z^{2})$

Step 5

Factor $- 4$ out of $- 4 (2 c^{4} y) - 4 (- 4 c^{3} y)$ .

$- 4 (2 c^{4} y - 4 c^{3} y) - 4 (- 3 z^{2})$

Step 6

Factor $- 4$ out of $- 4 (2 c^{4} y - 4 c^{3} y) - 4 (- 3 z^{2})$ .

$- 4 (2 c^{4} y - 4 c^{3} y - 3 z^{2})$
