Step 3.1

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$\frac{2 (2)}{w} \cdot \frac{1}{- 2}$

Step 3.2

Factor $2$ out of $- 2$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot 2}{w} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot - 1}$

Step 3.3

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 \cdot 2}{w} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot - 1}$

Step 3.4

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{2}{w} \cdot \frac{1}{- 1}$

$\frac{2}{w} \cdot \frac{1}{- 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $\frac{2}{w}$ by $\frac{1}{- 1}$ .

$\frac{2}{w \cdot - 1}$
