You can't - have you got the question right?

You can't, without compromising the integer coefficients. For instance,
4x - 1 = 4(x - 1/4)
But we usually pull out greatest common factors, and factors are defined only for integers.

there is nothing that you factor from it ! 4x-1 is itself .

Call it a difference of two squares.
4x -1 = [2*sqrt(x) - 1][2*sqrt(x) + 1]

Let the expression equal zero, then x = 1/4.

That's about how factored that will be. You can't factor it beyond that.

You cant because is one constant and the other one is not. Moreover, there is no common factor.
