How to simplify 3x^2y^2 / 8xy using the law of exponents

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-04] [Hit: ]
-Every variable remains in the position where initially they have the greater exponent. In this particular case, x and y have a two as exponent in the numerator and only a one in the denominator, so finally both x and y remain in the numerator.......
I don't want the answer; I just want to know how to simplify it. I know you subtract the exponents, but would they end up on the numerator or the denominator? Moreover, in the case where you subtract the exponents and it ends up a negative exponent, would it end up on the numerator or the denominator? Thank you!

Every variable remains in the position where initially they have the greater exponent. In this particular case, "x" and "y" have a "two" as exponent in the numerator and only a "one" in the denominator, so finally both "x" and "y" remain in the numerator.
