Simplify:
Move m%5E%28-15%29 from the numerator to the denominator to change the sign of the exponent from negative to positive. Move n%5E%28-14%29 from the denominator to the numerator to change the sign of the exponent from negative to positive.
%28%28-39%29%2An%5E12%2An%5E14%29%2F%28%28-57%29m%5E8+%2A+m%5E15%29 Add the exponents in the numerator and add the exponents in the denominator.
%28%28-39%29%2An%5E26%29%2F%28%28-57%29%2Am%5E23%29 Finally, divide both of the integers by -3.
