How do you factor #3m^4+243#? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Factor Polynomials Using Special Products 1 Answer Azimet Jan 18, 2017 #3(m^4 + 81)# Explanation: No #m# can be factored out of both terms, since #m# isn't a factor of #243# (it's a variable). So, since #243# is divisible by #3#, we can factor a #3# out of the entire equation, put the rest in parentheses, and divide each term with #3# as such: #3(m^4 + 81)# Answer link Related questions How do you factor special products of polynomials?
