 (1): "x3"   was replaced by   "x^3". 

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  24x3 -  2

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   16x³ - 2  =   2 • (8x³ - 1) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 3.2      Factoring:  8x³ - 1 

Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a³ - b³ can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a² +ab +b²)

Proof :  (a-b)•(a²+ab+b²) =
            a³+a²b+ab²-ba²-b²a-b³ =
            a³+(a²b-ba²)+(ab²-b²a)-b³ =
            a³+0+0-b³ =
            a³-b³

Check :  8  is the cube of  2 

Check :  1  is the cube of   1 
Check :  x³ is the cube of   x¹

Factorization is :
             (2x - 1)  •  (4x² + 2x + 1) 

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 3.3     Factoring  4x² + 2x + 1 

The first term is,  4x²  its coefficient is  4 .
The middle term is,  +2x  its coefficient is  2 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +1 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • 1 = 4 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   2 .

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

  2 • (2x - 1) • (4x2 + 2x + 1)
