Question
Factorize:
$ 28a^2+ 14a^2b^2- 21a^4$

Answer

The greatest common factor of the term
$28 a^2+14 a^2 b^2$ and $21 a^4$ of the expression
$28 a^2+14 a^2 b^2-21 a^4$ is $7 a^2$
Also, we can write $28 a^2=7 a^2 \cdot 4,14 a^2 b^2=7 a^2 \cdot 2 b^2$ and $21 a^4=7 a^2 \cdot 3 a^3$
Therefore, $28 a^2+14 a^2 b^2-21 a^4=7 a^2 \cdot 4+7 a^2 \cdot 2 b^2-7 a^2 \cdot 3 a^3$
