How do you divide polynomial when the exponent of the numerator is less than the denominator, for exmaple a^3/b^7?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ a^3 }{ b^7 } $$

anonymous · Answer

Is the answer ab^4?

loser66 · Answer

nope,

anonymous · Answer

a^4b?

loser66 · Answer

you said that they are polynomial, so, only the one way you can do is 
factor them separately
consider whether they have the same term or not, if they are
cancel out those same term
done.
cannot make division.

loser66 · Answer

give me a particular problem, cannot give out the clear explanation

anonymous · Answer

So, it is already simplified?

loser66 · Answer

as you said above, a ^3 cannot divided by b^7

loser66 · Answer

but if they are polynomial, it's another problem.

loser66 · Answer

hey, it's not polynomial, friend

loser66 · Answer

$$8=2^3$$ therefore, hey, where is it?

anonymous · Answer

$$(\frac{ a^3 }{ b^7 })^2$$

loser66 · Answer

tell me what you think?

sorry my response was for a dif question...lol

loser66 · Answer

ok, @zzr0ck3r you can continue now, appreciate

anonymous · Answer

First, multiply a^3 by 2 which is a^6 and then b^7 by 2 which is b^14 and then the answer is a^6/b^14?

loser66 · Answer

yeap

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thank you.

loser66 · Answer

hey, why do you ask for polynomial, and then give out the example of an exponent of a constant?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to do that either.

loser66 · Answer

they are different topics. somehow you can apply this stuff but in some cases only.

anonymous · Answer

Okay, i'll keep that in mind.

loser66 · Answer

another thing is if a = m b, you can combine them. I don't want to confuse you, but there are so many rules in this field. That's why I ask you for a particular case. ok. good luck
