$10 a^{4} b^{9} + 2 a b^{5} - 16 a b^{8}$

Step 1

Factor $2 a b^{5}$ out of $10 a^{4} b^{9}$ .

$2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4}) + 2 a b^{5} - 16 a b^{8}$

Step 2

Factor $2 a b^{5}$ out of $2 a b^{5}$ .

$2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4}) + 2 a b^{5} (1) - 16 a b^{8}$

Step 3

Factor $2 a b^{5}$ out of $- 16 a b^{8}$ .

$2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4}) + 2 a b^{5} (1) + 2 a b^{5} (- 8 b^{3})$

Step 4

Factor $2 a b^{5}$ out of $2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4}) + 2 a b^{5} (1)$ .

$2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4} + 1) + 2 a b^{5} (- 8 b^{3})$

Step 5

Factor $2 a b^{5}$ out of $2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4} + 1) + 2 a b^{5} (- 8 b^{3})$ .

$2 a b^{5} (5 a^{3} b^{4} + 1 - 8 b^{3})$
