Graphical form: $\"r%5E5%2Fr%5E20\"$ simplifies to $\"1%2Fr%5E15\"$
Text form: r^5/r^20 simplifies to 1/r^15
Cartoon (animation) form: $\"simplify_cartoon%28+r%5E5%2Fr%5E20+%29\"$
For tutors: simplify_cartoon( r^5/r^20 )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+r%5E5+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+r%5E20+%29\"$ .
Reduce similar several occurrences of $\"highlight_red%28+r%5E5+%29\"$ to $\"highlight_green%28+r%5E%285-20%29+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+r%5E%285-20%29+%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"r%5E%28highlight_red%28+5+%29-highlight_red%28+20+%29%29\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"r%5E%28highlight_green%28+-15+%29%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"r%5E%28highlight_red%28+-15+%29%29\"$ .
Removed extra sign in front of $\"-15\"$
It becomes $\"r%5E%28-highlight_green%28+15+%29%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+r%5E%28-15%29+%29\"$ .
Negative power changes multiplication to division
It becomes $\"1%2Fhighlight_green%28+r%5E15+%29\"$ .
Result: $\"1%2Fr%5E15\"$
