a^{2}\left(a+3\right)-2\left(a+3\right)
Consider a^{3}+3a^{2}-2a-6. Do the grouping a^{3}+3a^{2}-2a-6=\left(a^{3}+3a^{2}\right)+\left(-2a-6\right), and factor out a^{2} in the first and -2 in the second group.
\left(a+3\right)\left(a^{2}-2\right)
Factor out common term a+3 by using distributive property.
