Question

How do you simplify `(14x^2y^2z^2)/(21xy^8z^4)`?

Answer 1

`(14x^2y^2z^2)/(21xy^8z^4)= x/(7y^6z^2)`

Explanation:

`(14x^2y^2z^2)/(21xy^8z^4)`
can be grouped as similar components:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `=(14/21) * ((x^2)/(x)) * ((y^2)/(y^8)) * ((z^2)/(z^4))`

`color(white)("XXXX")` `= 1/7 * x/1 * 1/(y^6) * 1/(z^2)`

`color(white)("XXXX")` `= x/(7y^6z^2)`
