$6 x y (x^{6} y^{4} + 8 x^{4} y^{3} + 6)$ $6xy(x^6y^4+8x^4y^3+6)$

To factor the expression we have to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of all the terms, or the greatest factor that all terms have in common.

That term is $6 x y$ $6xy$ , so you are left with:
$x^{6} y^{4} + 8 x^{4} y^{3} + 6$ $x^6y^4+8x^4y^3+6$

Therefore, the expression is:
$6 x y (x^{6} y^{4} + 8 x^{4} y^{3} + 6)$ $6xy(x^6y^4+8x^4y^3+6)$

Hope this helps!
