Step 2.1

Combine $36$ and $\frac{1}{c}$ .

$a^{3} b^{7} \frac{36}{c} - 4 a^{5} b^{2} c^{2}$

Step 2.2

Combine $a^{3}$ and $\frac{36}{c}$ .

$b^{7} \frac{a^{3} \cdot 36}{c} - 4 a^{5} b^{2} c^{2}$

Step 2.3

Combine $b^{7}$ and $\frac{a^{3} \cdot 36}{c}$ .

$\frac{b^{7} (a^{3} \cdot 36)}{c} - 4 a^{5} b^{2} c^{2}$

Step 3

Move $36$ to the left of $b^{7} a^{3}$ .

$\frac{36 b^{7} a^{3}}{c} - 4 a^{5} b^{2} c^{2}$
