You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Is this it?
+%28+4k%5E6+%29+%2F+%28+7k%5E5+%29+
If so,
You know that +k%5E6+=+k%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak+
and +k%5E5+=+k%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak+
----------------
So, what you have is:
+%28+4%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak+%29+%2F+%28+7%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak%2Ak+%29+
The k's on the top and bottom all cancel
except for one k left over on top, so
you are left with:
+%28+4%2Ak%29+%2F+7+=+%284%2F7%29%2Ak+
