%2820u%5E5-15t%5E4u%5E3%29%2F20u%5E6w+

20u%5E5%2F%2820u%5E6w%29-15t%5E4u%5E3%2F%2820u%5E6w%29 Break up the fraction

20u%5E%285-6%29%2F%2820w%29-15t%5E4u%5E%283-6%29%2F%2820w%29 Subtract the exponents

20u%5E%28-1%29%2F%2820w%29-15t%5E4u%5E%28-3%29%2F%2820w%29

u%5E%28-1%29%2F%28w%29-3t%5E4u%5E%28-3%29%2F%284w%29 Reduce
