4m^4-5m^2

Basically you divide each term by the denominator
this is akin to splittting fraction. Just as you can add 2/5 and 4/5 to get (2+4)/5, like wise you can split apart fractions. By doing this, you get two fractions and you can evaluate them individually

(8m^(7) - 10m^(5))/(2m^(3)) = (8m^(7))/(2m^(3)) - (10m^(5))/(2m^(3)) = 4m^(4) - 5m^(2)
