Write the Fraction in Simplest Form (5(b)^2)/(5b^5)

$\frac{5 {(b)}^{2}}{5 b^{5}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 {(b)}^{2}}{5 b^{5}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{{(b)}^{2}}{b^{5}}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of ${(b)}^{2}$ and $b^{5}$ .

Factor $b^{2}$ out of ${(b)}^{2}$ .

$\frac{b^{2} \cdot 1}{b^{5}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $b^{2}$ out of $b^{5}$ .

$\frac{b^{2} \cdot 1}{b^{2} b^{3}}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{b^{2} \cdot 1}{b^{2} b^{3}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{b^{3}}$
