x^2-12x+27 over x^2-15x+56 * x^2-19x+84 over x^2-20x+99
-----------
Factor where you can------
[(x-3)(x-9)]/[(x-7)(x-8)] * [(x-7)(x-12)]/[(x-9)(x-11)]
-----
Cancel all factors common to a numerator and a denominator, such as
(x-9) and (x-7), to get::
-------------------
= [(x-3)]/[(x-8)] * [(x-12)]/[(x-11)]
---------------------
= [[(x-3)(x-12)]/[(x-8)(x-11)]
=====
= (x^2-15x+36)/(x^2-19x+88)
