#1/w^4#

#(v^0 * w^0)/(v * w^0 * v^(-1) * w^4)#

There are several law of indices which we can use here.

#x^0 = 1 (x!=0)" "# and #" "x^m xx x^n = x^(m+n)#

#x^-m = 1/x^m" "# Also recall: #x/x=1 (x!=1)#

#(cancel(v^0)1 * cancel(w^0)1)/(v * cancel(w^0) * v^(-1) * w^4)" "larr v^(1-1) = v^0 = 1#

#1/(cancel(v^0)1*w^4)#

#1/w^4#
