a^6 means a times itself 6 times. b^3 means b times itself 3 times. Etc. So rewrite your problem like that: \[\large \frac{a^6b^3}{a^4b^2} = \frac{a*a*a*a*a*a*b*b*b}{a*a*a*a*b*b}\]
Understand so far? Does that make sense?
yeah , i got that part but i just don't know how to simplify it
Well, now that it's written that way, we can cancel things. Anything that shows up in the top and the bottom, we can cancel it out. Do it in pairs, like this: |dw:1342208889234:dw|
