first factor a 2 out of everything;
2(a^2 - 5a+4) Then factor
2(a -4)(a-1)

2a^2 - 10a + 8 = 2(a^2 - 5a + 4) = 2(a - 4)(a - 1)

As a first step, notice that all the numbers are even and so have a factor of 2: remove this to give 2(a^2-5a+4).
Now a^2-5a+4 factors to (a-1)(a-4)
So the final answer is 2(a-1)(a-4)

2a² - 10a + 8
2(a² - 5a + 4)
2(a - 4)(a - 1)

2aa-10a+8 =
= 2aa - 2a - 8a + 8 =
= 2a(a - 1) - 8(a - 1) =
= (2a - 8)(a - 1) =
= 2(a - 4)(a - 1)
