%288b%29%5E2%282b%29%5E-8%2A%282b%29%5E6..........substitute %282b%29%5E-8+=1%2F%282b%29%5E8
= %288b%29%5E2%2A%281%2F%282b%29%5E8%29%2A%282b%29%5E6...here8b we can write as 2%5E3b
= %282%5E3b%29%5E2%2A%28%282b%29%5E6%2F%282b%29%5E8%29......factor out 2%5E2+=+4
= 4%282b%29%5E2%2A%282b%5E%286-8%29%29
= 4%282b%29%5E2%2A%282b%29%5E-2
= 4%282b%29%5E2%2F%282b%29%5E2..........cancel %282b%29%5E2
= 4
