Q. Divide. Write your answer in simplest form. 10m3−6m2m−4÷57
Rewrite Division as Multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction.(m−4)/(10m3−6m2)÷57 can be rewritten as (m−4)/(10m3−6m2)×75.
Factor Out GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the denominator of the first fraction. 10m3−6m2 can be factored by taking out 2m2, which gives us 2m2(5m−3).So, the factored form of the first fraction is (m−4)/(2m2(5m−3)).
Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators of the two fractions. (m−4)/(2m2(5m−3))×5/7 results in ((m−4)×5)/(2m2(5m−3)×7).
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by performing the multiplication. ((m−4)×5)/(2m2(5m−3)×7) simplifies to (5m−20)/(14m2(5m−3)).
Check for Common Factors: Check if there are any common factors that can be canceled out from the numerator and the denominator.There are no common factors between (5m−20) and (14m2(5m−3)), so the expression is already in its simplest form.
