Solve 8xy^2/4xy^2

$$\frac { 8 x y ^ { 2 } } { 4 x y ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{8^{1}x^{1}y^{2}}{4^{1}x^{1}y^{2}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{8^{1}}{4^{1}}x^{1-1}y^{2-2}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{8^{1}}{4^{1}}x^{0}y^{2-2}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{8^{1}}{4^{1}}y^{2-2}$$

Subtract 2 from 2.

$$\frac{8^{1}}{4^{1}}y^{0}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{8^{1}}{4^{1}}$$

Divide 8 by 4.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
