Find common factor: Look for a common factor in all terms.The terms 8x2, 112x, and 392 all have a common factor of 8.Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF).8(x2+14x+49)
Factor out GCF: Factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses.The quadratic expression x2+14x+49 is a perfect square trinomial because it can be written as (x+7)2.So, 8(x2+14x+49)=8(x+7)(x+7) or 8(x+7)2
