Answer

$(5m^2-6)(25m^4+30m^2+36)$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^3\pm b^3=(a\pm b)(a^2\mp ab+b^2)$ or the factoring of two cubes, the factored form of the given expression, $ 125m^6-216 ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (5m^2-6)[(5m^2)^2+5m^2(6)+(6)^2] \\\\= (5m^2-6)(25m^4+30m^2+36) .\end{array}
