Simplify (4p^11)/(8p^6)

$\frac{4 \cdot p^{11}}{8 \cdot p^{6}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $4$ and $8$ .

Factor $4$ out of $4 \cdot p^{11}$ .

$\frac{4 (p^{11})}{8 \cdot p^{6}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $4$ out of $8 \cdot p^{6}$ .

$\frac{4 (p^{11})}{4 (2 \cdot p^{6})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 p^{11}}{4 (2 \cdot p^{6})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{p^{11}}{2 \cdot p^{6}}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $p^{11}$ and $p^{6}$ .

Factor $p^{6}$ out of $p^{11}$ .

$\frac{p^{6} p^{5}}{2 \cdot p^{6}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $p^{6}$ out of $2 \cdot p^{6}$ .

$\frac{p^{6} p^{5}}{p^{6} \cdot 2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{p^{6} p^{5}}{p^{6} \cdot 2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{p^{5}}{2}$

Simplify (4*p^11)/(8*p^6)
