\frac{8x^{2}+14x+3}{4}
Factor out \frac{1}{4}.
a+b=14 ab=8\times 3=24
Consider 8x^{2}+14x+3. Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 8x^{2}+ax+bx+3. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
1,24 2,12 3,8 4,6
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 24.
1+24=25 2+12=14 3+8=11 4+6=10
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=2 b=12
The solution is the pair that gives sum 14.
\left(8x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(12x+3\right)
Rewrite 8x^{2}+14x+3 as \left(8x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(12x+3\right).
2x\left(4x+1\right)+3\left(4x+1\right)
Factor out 2x in the first and 3 in the second group.
\left(4x+1\right)\left(2x+3\right)
Factor out common term 4x+1 by using distributive property.
\frac{\left(4x+1\right)\left(2x+3\right)}{4}
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
