  1. 9t⁶+57t⁵+18t⁴

    Every term is divisible by 3 and t⁴, so the first set of factors is 3t⁴.  That leaves:

    3t²+19t+6

    This can be factored to:

    (3t+a)(t+b) = 3t²+19t+6

    3t²+(3b+a)t+ab=3t²+19t+6

    So,

    3a+b=19

    ab=6

    So,

    a=6; b=1

    So, the additional factors are (3t+6)(t+1).

    The full set are 3t⁴(3t+6)(t+1)


  2. 9t^6 + 57t^5 + 18t^4

    = (3t^4) (3t^2 + 19t + 6)

    = (3t^4) (t + 6) (3t + 1)

  3. 3t^4(3t^2+19t+6)
