%2848u%5E6z%5E9%29%2F%2818u%5E4z%5E4%29 Start with the given expression.


%288%2F3%29u%5E6z%5E9+u%5E4z%5E4 Divide the coefficients 48 and 18 to get 8%2F3


%288%2F3%29u%5E%286-4%29z%5E%289-4%29 When you divide monomials, simply subtract the exponents.


%288%2F3%29u%5E2z%5E5 Subtract.


So %2848u%5E6z%5E9%29%2F%2818u%5E4z%5E4%29=%288%2F3%29u%5E2z%5E5.
