+3x%5E2m%5E5%282x%5E4m%5E2%29+%2F+3x%5E2m%5E5m%5E-4+
Lets work the top first ...
+3x%5E2m%5E5%282x%5E4m%5E2%29+
multiply the co-efficients ... 3 * 2 = 6
multiply the x terms ... x^2 * x^4 = x^6
multiply the m terms ... m^5 * m^2 = m^7
+6x%5E6m%5E7+%2F+3x%5E2m%5E5m%5E-4+
Now lets work the bottom
+3x%5E2m%5E5m%5E-4+
Multiply the m terms ... m^5 * m^-4 = m^1 = m
+6x%5E6m%5E7+%2F+3x%5E2m+
Reduce
Divide the coefficients ... 6/3 =2
Divide the x terms ... x^6 / x^2 = x^4
Divide the m terms ... m^7 / m = m^6
+2x%5E4m%5E6+
