$\frac{8 a^{3} - 2 a^{2} - 2 a + 14}{4 a + 3}$

Step 1

Factor $2$ out of $8 a^{3}$ .

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3}) - 2 a^{2} - 2 a + 14}{4 a + 3}$

Step 2

Factor $2$ out of $- 2 a^{2}$ .

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3}) + 2 (- a^{2}) - 2 a + 14}{4 a + 3}$

Step 3

Factor $2$ out of $- 2 a$ .

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3}) + 2 (- a^{2}) + 2 (- a) + 14}{4 a + 3}$

Step 4

Factor $2$ out of $14$ .

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3}) + 2 (- a^{2}) + 2 (- a) + 2 (7)}{4 a + 3}$

Step 5

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

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3} - a^{2}) + 2 (- a) + 2 (7)}{4 a + 3}$

Step 6

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

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3} - a^{2} - a) + 2 (7)}{4 a + 3}$

Step 7

Factor $2$ out of $2 (4 a^{3} - a^{2} - a) + 2 (7)$ .

$\frac{2 (4 a^{3} - a^{2} - a + 7)}{4 a + 3}$
