$- 12 a^{3} b - 24 a^{2} b - 6 a b$

Step 1

Factor $- 6 a b$ out of $- 12 a^{3} b$ .

$- 6 a b (2 a^{2}) - 24 a^{2} b - 6 a b$

Step 2

Factor $- 6 a b$ out of $- 24 a^{2} b$ .

$- 6 a b (2 a^{2}) - 6 a b (4 a) - 6 a b$

Step 3

Factor $- 6 a b$ out of $- 6 a b$ .

$- 6 a b (2 a^{2}) - 6 a b (4 a) - 6 a b (1)$

Step 4

Factor $- 6 a b$ out of $- 6 a b (2 a^{2}) - 6 a b (4 a)$ .

$- 6 a b (2 a^{2} + 4 a) - 6 a b (1)$

Step 5

Factor $- 6 a b$ out of $- 6 a b (2 a^{2} + 4 a) - 6 a b (1)$ .

$- 6 a b (2 a^{2} + 4 a + 1)$
