The factored form is $color(red)xcolor(blue)(y^2)(2x^3−11y^7)$ .

$color(white)=2x^4y^2−11xy^9$

$=color(red)x*2x^3y^2−color(red)x*11y^9$

$=color(red)x(2x^3y^2−11y^9)$

$=color(red)x(color(blue)(y^2)*2x^3−color(blue)(y^2)*11y^7)$

$=color(blue)(y^2)*color(red)x(2x^3−11y^7)$

$=color(red)xcolor(blue)(y^2)(2x^3−11y^7)$

That's the most factored it gets. Hope this helped!
