See below

Look at the numbers firstly, 6 divides into 24 and 18

$(-4x^6y^7)/(3x^(-1/3)y^9$

When dealing with powers if they are the same term and we are dividing then we subtract the the powers

$(-4x^(17/3)y^(-2))/3$ Or $(-4x^(17/3))/(3y^2$

How do you simplify (-24x^6y^7)/(18x^(-1/3)y^9)(-24x^6y^7)/(18x^(-1/3)y^9)?
