Divide (a^15b^2c^18)/(a^12b^2c^3)

$\frac{a^{15} b^{2} c^{18}}{a^{12} b^{2} c^{3}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $a^{15}$ and $a^{12}$ .

Factor $a^{12}$ out of $a^{15} b^{2} c^{18}$ .

$\frac{a^{12} (a^{3} b^{2} c^{18})}{a^{12} b^{2} c^{3}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $a^{12}$ out of $a^{12} b^{2} c^{3}$ .

$\frac{a^{12} (a^{3} b^{2} c^{18})}{a^{12} (b^{2} c^{3})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{a^{12} (a^{3} b^{2} c^{18})}{a^{12} (b^{2} c^{3})}$
