Simplify the following fractions by putting them in lowest terms or by performing the indicated operations.
a-ab over a2 divided by a-1 over a cubed
------------
[(a(1-a))/a^2] / [(a-1)/a^3]
Invert the denominator and change to multiplication:
= [(a(1-a))/a^2]
Cance any factors that are common to a numerator and a denominator to get:
= [1/1] * [a^2/1]
= a^2
