$\frac{4}{y^{5}}$

Step 1

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$\frac{2^{2}}{y^{5}}$

Step 2

Move $2^{2}$ in $\frac{2^{2}}{y^{5}}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{y^{5} \cdot 2^{- 2}}$

Step 3

Move $y^{5}$ in $\frac{1}{y^{5} \cdot 2^{- 2}}$ to the numerator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{y^{- 5}}{2^{- 2}}$
