-4a squared b to the sixth over two a to the fifth b to the fourth.
----
-4a^2*b^6/[2a^5*b^4]
--------------
= (-4/2)(a^2/a^5)(b^6/b^4)
--------------
= -2(1/a^3)(b^2/1)
----
= -2b^2/a^3

I get this from your statement of the problem
( (-4a)^2 )^6 / 2a^5b^4 = (16a^2)^6 / 2a^5b^4 = 16^6a^12 / 2a^5b^4 = 16777216a^12 / 2a^5b^4 = 8388608a^7 / b^4
