Step 6

Combine.

$\frac{32 p^{5} \cdot 1}{q^{10} (3 p^{7} q^{7})}$

Step 7

Multiply $q^{10}$ by $q^{7}$ by adding the exponents.

Move $q^{7}$ .

$\frac{32 p^{5} \cdot 1}{q^{7} q^{10} (3 p^{7})}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{32 p^{5} \cdot 1}{q^{7 + 10} (3 p^{7})}$

Add $7$ and $10$ .

$\frac{32 p^{5} \cdot 1}{q^{17} (3 p^{7})}$

Step 8

Multiply $32 p^{5}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{32 p^{5}}{q^{17} (3 p^{7})}$

Step 9

Cancel the common factor of $p^{5}$ and $p^{7}$ .

Factor $p^{5}$ out of $32 p^{5}$ .

$\frac{p^{5} \cdot 32}{q^{17} (3 p^{7})}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $p^{5}$ out of $q^{17} (3 p^{7})$ .

$\frac{p^{5} \cdot 32}{p^{5} (q^{17} (3 p^{2}))}$

Cancel the common factor.
