Choose any monomial and multiply it by 24a^2b^3 to find the other monomial.

Explanation:

A quotient is the answer to a division.

There are many possible answers.

For example,

Which 2 numbers have a quotient of 4?

100/25 = 72/18 = 60/15 = 48/12= 32/8 = (3/2)/(3/8) = 4

To find another two, choose one and multiply it by 4.

23 xx 4 = 92" ":. 92/23 =4

In this case it is the same with algebra:

Choose any monomial (one term) and multiply it by 24a^2b^3 to find the other monomial.

For example:

5a^3b^5 xx 24a^2b^3 = 120a^5b^8

:. (120a^5b^8)/(5a^3b^5) = 24a^2b^3
