There is no addition or subtraction in your expression. There is nothing but multiplication in the numerator and the same can be said for the denominators. So there is no factoring to be done. Everything is already a multiplication.

But we can simplify the expression.


Now we can find and then cancel common factors:


%283%2A5%2Ab%5E4%2Ax%2Ay%29%2F4+=+%2815b%5E4xy%29%2F4 or %2815%2F4%29b%5E4xy
