Factoring pm^3 + m^2 + pm + 1

[waxbar1]

I think this is an easy factoring problem, i just cant get my head around it. What is pm^3+m^2+pm+1 factored? I need an answer asap, so any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

pm[sup:17bvtlh1]3[/sup:17bvtlh1] + m[sup:17bvtlh1]2[/sup:17bvtlh1] + pm + 1

pm[sup:17bvtlh1]3[/sup:17bvtlh1] + pm + m[sup:17bvtlh1]2[/sup:17bvtlh1] + 1

pm(m[sup:17bvtlh1]2[/sup:17bvtlh1] + 1) + (m[sup:17bvtlh1]2[/sup:17bvtlh1] + 1)

see how to finish up?

OR you don't have to rearrange the terms.

pm^3+m^2+pm+1 =

m^2(pm+1) + 1(pm+1) = ???
