You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You look at every single part of the fraction individually, eg %2812x%5E5y%5E2z%29%2F%28-3w%5E7x%5E3y%5E2z%5E4%29 becomes -%284x%5E2%29%2F%28w%5E7z%5E3%29

you look at the signs --> do that
you look at the coefficients --> do that
you look at the w terms --> do that
you look at the x terms --> do that
you look at the y terms --> do that
you look at the z terms --> do that

then that is your answer. This shows you most if not all of the possibilities. If you have a specific question, then ask it :-)
