That's really an ugly mess. I'm sure it can be greatly simplified.

2 m² p⁻¹ q⁴ / m⁴ p⁻¹ q⁴ m² q⁻³

-- There's m² on top and also m² on the bottom. They can be cancelled.
-- There's p⁻¹ on top and also p⁻¹ on the bottom. They can be cancelled.
-- There's q⁴ on top and also q⁴ on the bottom. They can be cancelled.

So here's what we have left now:

2 / m⁴ q⁻³

That's IT ! After only some cancelling.


We can take the q⁻³ out of the denominator,
and make it q³ in the numerator.
And here's what we have now:

2 q³ / m⁴ .

And I think that's really the end.
It looks much better now.
