(a -b) · (a2+ab+b2) = (a3+a2b+ab2) - (a2b+ab2+b3) = a3 -b3

(a+b) · (a2 -ab+b2) = (a3 -a2b+ab2) +(a2b -ab2+b3) = a3+b3

More generally:

(a ∓ b) · (an-1 ±an-2b +an-3b2 ±an-4b3 +±...+a(±b)n-2 +(±b)n-1) = an ± bn.

The mixed terms cancel out themselves.

What is the lest common factor of 3518?

The least (not "lest"!) common factor (HCF) would refer to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! So, from that point of view, the question makes no sense. Furthermore, the least factor of any integer is always 1, so again, the question makes no sense. I suggest that you try to make sure that your question makes at some sense.
