Answer

$6(y-3)(y-1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=6y^2-24y+18$ Factor out $6$. $=6(y^2-4y+3)$ Rewrite $-4y$ as $-3y-y$. $=6(y^2-3y-y+3)$ Group the terms. $=6[(y^2-3y)+(-y+3)]$ Factor each group. $=6[y(y-3)-1(y-3)]$ Factor out $(y-3)$. $=6(y-3)(y-1)$ Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $6(y-3)(y-1)$.
