To simplify a rational expression, you need to look for common factors that you can divide out.
Since 8 and 6 are both divisible by 2, then rewriting 8 and 6 as a product gives:
8x6y24x23y
The numerator and denominator then have common factors of 2. Dividing out these factors then gives:
24x23y=4x3y Simplify
