Answer:
[tex]3a^4b^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{15a^8b^4}{5a^4b}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{15}{5}=3\\=\frac{3a^8b^4}{a^4b}\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}\\\frac{a^8}{a^4}=a^{8-4}\\=\frac{3b^4a^{8-4}}{b}\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:8-4=4\\=\frac{3a^4b^4}{b}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:b\\3a^4b^3[/tex]
