(In the future, please post fractions in the form:
(numerator)/(denominator)
For example this problem would be:
(16x^2y^7)/(40x^4y^10)
Posting fractions as you did makes it difficult to understand. And tutors will be more willing to respond to problems which are clearly stated.)

Simplifying a fraction involves canceling factors that the numerator an denominator have in common. I'll rewrite the numerator and denominator so you can see the common factors more clearly:

Now we can cancel:

which leaves:

(Once you get practice with these you will not have to factor so extensively to see what will cancel.)
