Industrial Energy Consumption Model

An industrial engineer uses the polynomial 500p3+4q3{}500p^3 + 4q^3 to model the total energy consumption of two manufacturing units. To simplify the mathematical model for a budget report, the engineer first factors out the greatest common factor of 4, resulting in the expression 4(125p3+q3){}4(125p^3 + q^3). According to the sum of cubes factoring pattern a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2), what is the binomial expression that represents the (a+b)(a + b) factor of the remaining binomial 125p3+q3{}125p^3 + q^3?
