Start by grouping the terms of the polynomial: \(6x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1\). Group them as \((6x^3 - 2x^2) + (3x - 1)\).
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group. From the first group \(6x^3 - 2x^2\), factor out \(2x^2\), giving \(2x^2(3x - 1)\).
From the second group \(3x - 1\), notice that it is already in its simplest form, so it remains \(3x - 1\).
Now, observe that both groups contain the common factor \((3x - 1)\). Factor \((3x - 1)\) out of the entire expression, resulting in \((2x^2 + 1)(3x - 1)\).
Verify the factorization by expanding \((2x^2 + 1)(3x - 1)\) to ensure it equals the original polynomial \(6x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1\).
