Documenting Factoring Procedures for Legacy Code Migration

You are a data analyst reviewing documentation for a legacy algorithm that optimizes shipping container dimensions. The documentation includes the polynomial 16x224xy+9y264{}16x^2 - 24xy + 9y^2 - 64, but the step-by-step factoring process is missing. From memory, describe the complete, step-by-step process used to factor this specific polynomial. Your response must explicitly state the initial grouping, the algebraic pattern used to factor the grouped trinomial, the resulting intermediate expression, and the final factored form.
