Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (16x2y213x2)÷(18xy) becomes (16x2y213x2)×(18xy1).
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (16x2y213x2)×(18xy1)=16x2y2×18xy13x2×1.
Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors. The x2 term in the numerator cancels with one x2 in the denominator, and the x in the denominator cancels with one x in the numerator. This leaves us with (16y2×18y)13.
Further simplify the denominator: Further simplify the denominator by multiplying the constants and the y terms. So, 16y2×18y=288y3.
Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. So, 16y2×18y13=288y313.
