Use your laws of exponents,
X%5En%2AX%5Em=X%5E%28n%2Bm%29
X%5En%2FX%5Em=X%5E%28n-m%29
%28X%5En%29%5Em=X%5E%28n%2Am%29
.
.
.
%288x%5E2y%5E4%29%5E2%2F%2824xy%5E3%29=%2864x%5E4y%5E8%29%2F%2824xy%5E3%29
%288x%5E2y%5E4%29%5E2%2F%2824xy%5E3%29=%2864%2F24%29x%5E%284-1%29y%5E%288-3%29
%288x%5E2y%5E4%29%5E2%2F%2824xy%5E3%29=%288%2F3%29x%5E3y%5E5%29
