Question
Simplify

(-2a^3b^2)^4  divided by (-3a^6b^4)^2

Answer
((-2a^3b^2)^4)/((-3a^6b^4)^2)

(((-2)^4) * a^(3 * 4) * b^(2 * 4)) /
(((-3)^2) * a^(6 * 2) * b^(4 * 2))

((-2 * -2 * -2 * -2) * a^12 * b^8)/((-3 * -3) * a^12 * b^8)

(64 * a^12 * b^8)/(9 * a^12 * b^8)

(64/9) * a^(12 - 12) * b^(8 - 8)

(64/9) * a^0 * b^0

(64/9) * 1 * 1

ANS : (64/9) or 7 and (1/9)
