\[2x ^{3}yz ^{2}\over3x ^{-2}y ^{4}z ^{-3}\] divided by \[4xy ^{5}z ^{8}\over5x ^{-4}y ^{3}z ^{-3}\]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

\[\large \frac {a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\] use this property.

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

for example, \[\large \frac x {x^{-4}} = x^{(1-(-4)} = x^5\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

it can be done if you have a negative on top you move it to the bottom of the fraction
