Factorize  −2+(1/x^3 )+x^3   (Stepwise process is required)

$${Factorize} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }+{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\left({Stepwise}\:{process}\:{is}\:{required}\right) \\ $$

−2+(1/x^3 )+x^3   =((−2x^3 +1+x^6 )/x^3 )=(((x^3 −1)^2 )/x^3 )  =(((x−1)^2 (x^2 +x+1)^2 )/x^3 )

$$−\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }+{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$=\frac{−\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{6}} }{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }=\frac{\left({x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} } \\ $$$$=\frac{\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{x}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} } \\ $$

A new approach, I didn′t think of.In factor form more  suitably can be written:  ((1/x))^3 (x−1)^2 (x^2 +x+1)^2  .

(x^2 +(1/x^2 )−x−(1/x))=x^2 −x−((x−1)/x^2 )=(x−1)(x−(1/x^2 ))

$$\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }−{x}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}−\frac{{x}−\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }\right) \\ $$
