How to do the monomials

Given:
The given monomial expression is [tex]\frac{16 y^{8}}{4 y^{2}}[/tex]
We need to simplify the given monomial expression.
Simplification:
Let us simplify the given expression.
Dividing the numbers 16 and 4, we get;
[tex]\frac{4 y^{8}}{y^{2}}[/tex]
Let us apply the exponent rule [tex]\frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}}=x^{a-b}[/tex] in the above expression.
Thus, we get;
[tex]4 y^{8-2}[/tex]
Subtracting the numbers in the numerator of the above expression, we get;
[tex]4 y^{6}[/tex]
Thus, the simplified expression is [tex]4 y^{6}[/tex]
