using synthetic division and your x = -3 factor,

-3) ∙ ∙ 2 ∙ ∙ 13 ∙ ∙ 17 ∙ ∙ -12

∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ -6 ∙ ∙ -21 ∙ ∙ 12

∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ -----------------------------

∙ ∙ ∙ ∙ 2 ∙ ∙ ∙ 7 ∙ ∙ ∙ -4 ∙ ∙ ∙ 0

which gives you (x + 3)(2x² + 7x – 4)

and the quadratic factors easily into

(2x – 1)(x + 4)

so your result is

(x + 3)(x + 4)(2x – 1)
