Answer

$13x^3y(y+4)(y-1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=13x^3y^3+39x^3y^2-52x^3y$ Factor out $13x^3y$. $=13x^3y(y^2+3y-4)$ Rewrite $3y$ as $4y-1y$. $=13x^3y(y^2+4y-1y-4)$ Group terms. $=13x^3y[(y^2+4y)+(-1y-4)]$ Factor from each group. $=13x^3y[y(y+4)-1(y+4)]$ Factor out $(y+4)$. $=13x^3y(y+4)(y-1)$.
