A number with a negative exponent means 1 over that same number but with a positive exponent.
Example:

See how it works? If a number in the numerator has a negative exponent you can change it to a positive exponent by putting the number in the denominator.
In other words, you can always change the sign of the exponent on a number by putting it on the bottom if it's on top or putting it on top if it's on the bottom. Neat, huh?
