True/False

A manufacturing technician is simplifying the expression 4a5b64ab{}4a^5b - 64ab to model the stress on a specialized component. During the factoring process, the technician reaches the form 4ab(a2)(a+2)(a2+4){}4ab(a - 2)(a + 2)(a^2 + 4). True or False: This expression is considered 'completely factored' over the set of real numbers because the binomial (a2+4)(a^2 + 4) cannot be factored further.
