Answer

$(y)(3y+2)(y+4)$

Work Step by Step

Given : $3y^{3}+14y^{2}+8y$ Now, $3.8=$$2.12$ Therefore, break the $14y^{2}$ term as $2y^{2}+12y^{2}$ This becomes : $3y^{3}+12y^{2}+2y^{2}+8y$ $3y^{3}=3.y.y.y$ and $12y^{2}=2.2.3.y.y$ Hence, $GCF=$$3.y.y=3y^{2}$ $2y^{2}=2.y.y$ and $8y=2.2.2.y$ Hence, $GCF=$$2.y=2y$ After grouping: $=(3y^{3}+12y^{2})+(2y^{2}+8y)$ $=3y^{2}(y+4)+2y(y+4)$ $=(3y^{2}+2y)(y+4)$ $=(y)(3y+2)(y+4)$
