5\left(6x^{3}y+23x^{2}y+7xy\right)
Factor out 5.
xy\left(6x^{2}+23x+7\right)
Consider 6x^{3}y+23x^{2}y+7xy. Factor out xy.
a+b=23 ab=6\times 7=42
Consider 6x^{2}+23x+7. Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 6x^{2}+ax+bx+7. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
1,42 2,21 3,14 6,7
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 42.
1+42=43 2+21=23 3+14=17 6+7=13
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=2 b=21
The solution is the pair that gives sum 23.
\left(6x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(21x+7\right)
Rewrite 6x^{2}+23x+7 as \left(6x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(21x+7\right).
2x\left(3x+1\right)+7\left(3x+1\right)
Factor out 2x in the first and 7 in the second group.
\left(3x+1\right)\left(2x+7\right)
Factor out common term 3x+1 by using distributive property.
5xy\left(3x+1\right)\left(2x+7\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
