Audit of Common Factors in Rational Multiplication

A technical auditor is reviewing a mathematical model that computes the product of two rational functions: f(x)=3x21x29x+14f(x) = \frac{3x - 21}{x^2 - 9x + 14} and g(x)=2x283x+6g(x) = \frac{2x^2 - 8}{3x + 6}. To verify the simplification process, the auditor needs to confirm which specific components are common to both the numerator and denominator of the product before they are divided out. Based on the standard procedure for this specific example, list all four common factors (including the numerical constant and the three binomial expressions) that are removed to simplify the product.
