Divide (5x^8y^3)/(15x^3y^3)

$\frac{5 x^{8} y^{3}}{15 x^{3} y^{3}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $5$ and $15$ .

Factor $5$ out of $5 x^{8} y^{3}$ .

$\frac{5 (x^{8} y^{3})}{15 x^{3} y^{3}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $5$ out of $15 x^{3} y^{3}$ .

$\frac{5 (x^{8} y^{3})}{5 (3 x^{3} y^{3})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 (x^{8} y^{3})}{5 (3 x^{3} y^{3})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{x^{8} y^{3}}{3 x^{3} y^{3}}$

$\frac{x^{8} y^{3}}{3 x^{3} y^{3}}$

$\frac{x^{8} y^{3}}{3 x^{3} y^{3}}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $x^{8}$ and $x^{3}$ .

Factor $x^{3}$ out of $x^{8} y^{3}$ .

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

Cancel the common factors.

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

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

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

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

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

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

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $y^{3}$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

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

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