Multiple Choice

A production technician is reviewing a technical manual for a machine efficiency formula, p3−2p2+2p−4p2−7p+10\frac{p^3-2p^2+2p-4}{p^2-7p+10}. The manual describes factoring the numerator by grouping the terms as (p3−2p2)+(2p−4)(p^3 - 2p^2) + (2p - 4). According to this standard procedure, what is the greatest common factor (GCF) that must be extracted from the second group, (2p−4)(2p - 4)?
