Simplify (12km^3)/(-4m^3)

$\frac{12 {km}^{3}}{- 4 m^{3}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $12$ and $- 4$ .

Factor $4$ out of $12 {km}^{3}$ .

$\frac{4 (3 {km}^{3})}{- 4 m^{3}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $4$ out of $- 4 m^{3}$ .

$\frac{4 (3 {km}^{3})}{4 (- m^{3})}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 (3 {km}^{3})}{4 (- m^{3})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{3 {km}^{3}}{- m^{3}}$

$\frac{3 {km}^{3}}{- m^{3}}$

$\frac{3 {km}^{3}}{- m^{3}}$

Step 2

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{3 {km}^{3}}{m^{3}}$

Step 3

Rewrite the expression.

$- \frac{3}{m^{3}} {km}^{3}$
