(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.

There are some things that can be taught and understood only after other things. For example, square roots and cube roots will make sense only after you know about squares and cubes. Furthermore, squares and cubes will only make sense if you know about multiplication.

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.
