Identifying Factor Components in Design

In a design project, a formula for combined volume is given as 2p3+54q3{}2p^3 + 54q^3. To factor this completely, the first step is to extract the greatest common factor of 2, leaving the binomial (p3+27q3)(p^3 + 27q^3). According to the sum of cubes identity a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2), what is the specific binomial factor (a+b)(a + b) for this expression?
