The given polynomial is 64x3 + y3 − 8z3 + 24xyz

64x3 + y3 − 8z3 + 24xyz 

= (4x)3 + (y)3 + (−2z)3 − 3(4x)(y)(−2z), which is of the form a3 + b3 + c3 − 3abc, where a = 4x, b = y, and c = −2z

We know that, 

a3 + b3 + c3 − 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2abbcca

∴ 64x3 + y3 − 8z3 + 24xyz 

= (4x)3 + (y)3 + (−2z)3 − 3(4x)(y)(−2z

= (4x + y − 2z)(16x2 + y2 + 4z2 − 4xy + 2yz + 8xz)
