$4 a^{4} b - 16 a^{2} b^{2} + 4 a b^{4}$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Factor $4 a b$ out of $- 16 a^{2} b^{2}$ .

$4 a b (a^{3}) + 4 a b (- 4 a b) + 4 a b^{4}$

Step 3

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

$4 a b (a^{3}) + 4 a b (- 4 a b) + 4 a b (b^{3})$

Step 4

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

$4 a b (a^{3} - 4 a b) + 4 a b (b^{3})$

Step 5

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

$4 a b (a^{3} - 4 a b + b^{3})$
