I believe this means:

%2825%2Ap%5E10%29%2F%2815%2Ap%5E3%29

If so, then it is fairly straightforward:

%2825%2Ap%5E10%29%2F%2815%2Ap%5E3%29 given

%285%2Ap%5E10%29%2F%283%2Ap%5E3%29 simplify the constants in the fraction

%285%2Ap%5E7%29%2F3 simplify the variable using properties of exponents

When dividing like terms with exponents, we subtract the indices from each other, in this case 10-3=7

Then we put that new index value in the numerator because 10%3E3

%285%2Ap%5E7%29%2F3 is the simplest form

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
