Factorize (x/2 + y + z/3)^3 + (x/3 – 2y/3 + z)^3 + (-5x/6 – y/3 – 4z/3)^3

Factorize the following expression : \[ \left(\frac{x}{2}+y+\frac{z}{3}\right)^3 + \left(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{2y}{3}+z\right)^3 + \left(-\frac{5x}{6}-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{4z}{3}\right)^3 \]

\[ \text{Let } a=\left(\frac{x}{2}+y+\frac{z}{3}\right), \] \[ b=\left(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{2y}{3}+z\right), \] \[ c=\left(-\frac{5x}{6}-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{4z}{3}\right) \] \[ a+b+c=0 \] \[ \therefore a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc \] \[ =3\left(\frac{x}{2}+y+\frac{z}{3}\right) \left(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{2y}{3}+z\right) \left(-\frac{5x}{6}-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{4z}{3}\right) \]
