Question

Divide the following

$-5x^2{y}^{3}zby-10y^{2}xz$

Answer 1

Finding division

First, write in fractional form as:

$-5x^2{y}^{3}z÷-10y^{2}xz=\frac{-5x^2{y}^{3}z}{-10y^{2}xz}$

Divide the numerical coefficient.

$\frac{-5x^2{y}^{3}z}{-10y^{2}xz}=\frac{x^2{y}^{3}z}{2y^{2}xz}$

Now, divide the literal coefficient.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{x^2{y}^{3}z}{2y^{2}xz}=\frac{xy}{2} \\ So,-5x^2{y}^{3}z÷-10y^{2}xz=\frac{xy}{2} \end{gathered}$$
