Given:

The given monomial expression is
(16 y^(8))/(4 y^(2))

We need to simplify the given monomial expression.

Simplification:

Let us simplify the given expression.

Dividing the numbers 16 and 4, we get;

(4 y^(8))/(y^(2))

Let us apply the exponent rule
(x^(a))/(x^(b))=x^(a-b) in the above expression.

Thus, we get;

4 y^(8-2)

Subtracting the numbers in the numerator of the above expression, we get;

4 y^(6)

Thus, the simplified expression is
4 y^(6)
