Step 1 :The given expression is a polynomial $8t^2 + 2t$.
Step 2 :To factorize it, we need to find the common factors of the terms in the polynomial.
Step 3 :The terms are $8t^2$ and $2t$.
Step 4 :The common factor here is $2t$.
Step 5 :So, the factored form of the given expression is $2t(4t+1)$.
Step 6 :\(\boxed{8t^2 + 2t = 2t(4t+1)}\)
