\(4\left(3^2+1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\left(3^{16}+1\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(3^2-1\right)\left(3^2+1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\left(3^{16}+1\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(3^4-1\right)\left(3^4+1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\left(3^{16}+1\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(3^8-1\right)\left(3^8+1\right)\left(3^{16}+1\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(3^{16}-1\right)\cdot\left(3^{16}+1\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(3^{32}-1\right)\)
