Factoring for LCD Identification

An operations analyst is simplifying a production efficiency formula represented by the following complex rational expression:

4m2−7m+123m−3−2m−4\frac{\frac{4}{m^2-7m+12}}{\frac{3}{m-3}-\frac{2}{m-4}}

To identify the Least Common Denominator (LCD) for this expression, the analyst must first factor the trinomial m2−7m+12m^2-7m+12 found in the numerator. What is the correct factored form of this trinomial?
