You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(8x^3y^2z^2) * 3x^2/y^3z^4
------
Cancel where you can to get:
[8*3*x^5*y^2*z^2]/[y^3*z^4]
------
= [24x^5]/[yz^2]

use cross cancelation
%288x%5E3y%5E2z%5E2%29%283x%5E2%2F%28y%5E3z%5E4%29%29
%288x%5E3cross%28y%5E2z%5E2%29%29%283x%5E2%2F%28cross%28y%5E2z%5E2%29yz%5E2%29%29
%288x%5E3%29%283x%5E2%2F%28yz%5E2%29%29 multiply
%2824x%5E%282%2B3%29%2F%28yz%5E2%29%29 add exponents
