Simplify by removing factors
%2836s%5E8%29%2F%2842s%5E11%29
reduce the numerical fraction, divide both by 6, resulting in
%286s%5E8%29%2F%287s%5E11%29
Divide the top and bottom by s^8, using the law of exponents, we have
%286s%5E%288-8%29%29%2F%287s%5E%2811-8%29%29
we know s^0 = 1 so we have
6%2F%287s%5E3%29
