%28%28x%5E2%2B9x%2B18%29%29%2F%28%28x%5E2%2B14x%2B48%29%29 * %28%28x%5E2%2B8x%29%29%2F%28%28x%5E2-2x-15%29%29
:
Everything factors here
%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B6%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B6%29%28x%2B8%29%29 * %28x%28x%2B8%29%29%2F%28%28x-5%29%28x%2B3%29%29
:
Note that the following will cancel: (x+3), (x+6), (x+8), leaving us with
x%2F%28%28x-5%29%29
