Explanation:

(4h⁴)⁴ / (4h^-8)

remember, multiplying exponents means adding them. exponents of exponents means multiplying them.

and dividing exponents means subtracting them.

also, n^-a = 1/(n^a).

let's look at the numerator (top part) first :

(4h⁴)⁴ = 4^1×4 × h^4×4 = 4⁴×h¹⁶

now, for the denominator, the exponent -8 applies only to h. not to 4.

so,

1/(4h^-8) = h⁸/4

and so, the whole expression is then simplified

4⁴×h¹⁶ × h⁸/4 = 4³ × h²⁴
