Divide (12x^6y^2)/(18xy^2)

$\frac{12 x^{6} y^{2}}{18 x y^{2}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $12$ and $18$ .

Factor $6$ out of $12 x^{6} y^{2}$ .

$\frac{6 (2 x^{6} y^{2})}{18 x y^{2}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $6$ out of $18 x y^{2}$ .

$\frac{6 (2 x^{6} y^{2})}{6 (3 x y^{2})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 (2 x^{6} y^{2})}{6 (3 x y^{2})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{2 x^{6} y^{2}}{3 x y^{2}}$

$\frac{2 x^{6} y^{2}}{3 x y^{2}}$

$\frac{2 x^{6} y^{2}}{3 x y^{2}}$

Step 2

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

Factor $x$ out of $2 x^{6} y^{2}$ .

$\frac{x (2 x^{5} y^{2})}{3 x y^{2}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $x$ out of $3 x y^{2}$ .

$\frac{x (2 x^{5} y^{2})}{x (3 y^{2})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x (2 x^{5} y^{2})}{x (3 y^{2})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{2 x^{5} y^{2}}{3 y^{2}}$

$\frac{2 x^{5} y^{2}}{3 y^{2}}$

$\frac{2 x^{5} y^{2}}{3 y^{2}}$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $y^{2}$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x^{5} y^{2}}{3 y^{2}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{2 x^{5}}{3}$

$\frac{2 x^{5}}{3}$
