$4 q (q^{3} + 3)$ $4q(q^3+3)$

we need to take out common factors for each term

$q^{4} + 12 q$ $q^4+12q$

$h c f (4, 12) = 4$ $hcf(4,12)=4$

$q^{4} + 12 q = 4 (q^{4} + 3 q)$ $q^4+12q=color(red)(4)(q^4+3q)$

$h c f (q^{4}, q) = q$ $hcf(q^4,q)=q$

$q^{4} + 12 q = 4 q (q^{3} + 3)$ $q^4+12q=4color(red)(q)(q^3+3)$
