SOLUTION: -3a^b * 14a^3b^2 ----- -------- 35a^5 -9b^4 I think I simplify first then multiply but I'm not sure. I am not sure what I should do first.

ARE YOU SURE THE PROBLEM IS -3A^(B?) OR SHOULD IT BE -3A^(?)B?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(-3a^2b*14a^3b^2)/(35a^5*-9b^4)
(-42*a^5b^3)/(-315a^5b^4)
(2)/(15b)
2/15b
