2\left(5v^{7}-16v^{6}+3v^{5}\right)
Factor out 2.
v^{5}\left(5v^{2}-16v+3\right)
Consider 5v^{7}-16v^{6}+3v^{5}. Factor out v^{5}.
a+b=-16 ab=5\times 3=15
Consider 5v^{2}-16v+3. Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 5v^{2}+av+bv+3. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
-1,-15 -3,-5
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is negative, a and b are both negative. List all such integer pairs that give product 15.
-1-15=-16 -3-5=-8
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=-15 b=-1
The solution is the pair that gives sum -16.
\left(5v^{2}-15v\right)+\left(-v+3\right)
Rewrite 5v^{2}-16v+3 as \left(5v^{2}-15v\right)+\left(-v+3\right).
5v\left(v-3\right)-\left(v-3\right)
Factor out 5v in the first and -1 in the second group.
\left(v-3\right)\left(5v-1\right)
Factor out common term v-3 by using distributive property.
2v^{5}\left(v-3\right)\left(5v-1\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
