Technical Documentation Review: Rational Function Simplification

An industrial process technician is reviewing a standardized procedure to simplify the quotient of two efficiency functions: f(x)=2x2x28xf(x) = \frac{2x^2}{x^2 - 8x} and g(x)=8x2+24xx2+x6g(x) = \frac{8x^2 + 24x}{x^2 + x - 6}. According to the 'Step 4' simplification instructions for this specific example, which binomial factor must be identified as a common factor and divided out from both the numerator and the denominator?
