{ab(a-b)(a-c)} / {ac(b-a)(b-c)}, Simplify.

`{ab(a-b)(a-c)} / {ac(b-a)(b-c)}`


They both share a on the top and bottom you should first divide by a to cancel out a, that would leave you:


`(b(a-b)(a-c)) / (c(b-a)(b-c))`


Now switch the order of b-a to -a+b, 


`(b(a-b)(a-c))/ (c(-a+b)(b-c))`


Now factor out a negative to make the denominator and the nominator the same:


`(b(a-b)(a-c))/ (-c(a-b)(b-c))`


now divide by a-b to cancel them out


you should be left over with:


`(b(a-c))/(-c(b-c))`

The fool as a character is confusing, but part of this is the difference between the 1600s and today, as well as the difference in place. If...
