Answer

$4(k+4)(k+3)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=4k^2+28k+48$ Factor out $4$. $=4(k^2+7k+12)$ Rewrite $7k$ as $4k+3k$. $=4(k^2+4k+3k+12)$ Group the terms. $=4[(k^2+4k)+(3k+12)]$ Factor each group. $=4[k(k+4)+3(k+4)]$ Factor out $(k+4)$. $=4(k+4)(k+3)$ Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $4(k+4)(k+3)$.
