x\left(x^{4}-2x^{2}+1\right)
Factor out x.
\left(x^{2}-1\right)\left(x^{2}-1\right)
Consider x^{4}-2x^{2}+1. Find one factor of the form x^{k}+m, where x^{k} divides the monomial with the highest power x^{4} and m divides the constant factor 1. One such factor is x^{2}-1. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by this factor.
\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Consider x^{2}-1. Rewrite x^{2}-1 as x^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x\left(x-1\right)^{2}\left(x+1\right)^{2}
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
