Step 1.1

Factor $y$ out of $- 1 y \cdot y^{2}$ .

$y (- 1 y^{2}) \div y^{2}$

Step 1.2

Factor $y$ out of $y^{2}$ .

$y (- 1 y^{2}) \div y \cdot y$

Step 1.3

Cancel the common factor.

$y (- 1 y^{2}) \div y \cdot y$

Step 1.4

Rewrite the expression.

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

Step 2.1.1

Factor $y$ out of $- 1 y^{2}$ .

$\frac{y (- 1 y)}{y}$

Step 2.1.2

Raise $y$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{y (- 1 y)}{y^{1}}$

Step 2.1.3

Factor $y$ out of $y^{1}$ .

$\frac{y (- 1 y)}{y \cdot 1}$

Step 2.1.4

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{y (- 1 y)}{y \cdot 1}$

Step 2.1.5

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{- 1 y}{1}$

Step 2.2

Divide $- 1 y$ by $1$ .

$- 1 y$
