 6.1     Pull out like factors :

   2y5z8 - 35y4z5 + 21y3z  =   y3z • (2y2z7 - 35yz4 + 21) 

Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :

 6.2    Factoring    2y2z7 - 35yz4 + 21 

Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error 

 
Factorization fails

Dividing exponential expressions :

 6.3    y3 divided by y4 = y(3 - 4) = y(-1) = 1/y1 = 1/y

Dividing exponential expressions :

 6.4    z1 divided by z7 = z(1 - 7) = z(-6) = 1/z6

Final result :

  2y2z7 - 35yz4 + 21
