How do you solve this? simple terms please :(
what's an easy way to solve a question like this when the bottom numbers aren't the same?
many thanks

Find the prime factorisation of each number.
So what you do it first you add the powers and times the number so it would look like this
36^6/24^12
Then you divide the numbers and subtract the powers
And it will look like this 1.5^-6
This is how I was taught how to do it sorry if it's wrong

A number can be broken down into a product of prime numbers
9 = 3 * 3
16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
35 = 5*7
etc...

As Zacken said, each positive integer(whole number) can be uniquely factorised into its prime factors.
For example 30 = (2)(3)(5).
If you write the numerator and denominator in their prime factorisations, you can cancel their like factors to write the fraction in its simplest form.

Use index laws and then cancel like factors.

I'm not 100 percent sure how to because I've got an index law sheet in front of me but none say what to do if you have brackets or what to do, any advice?
thank you btw
