$4 a^{- 6} b^{- 7} c^{4}$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$4 \frac{1}{a^{6}} b^{- 7} c^{4}$

Step 2

Combine $4$ and $\frac{1}{a^{6}}$ .

$\frac{4}{a^{6}} b^{- 7} c^{4}$

Step 3

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{4}{a^{6}} \cdot \frac{1}{b^{7}} c^{4}$

Step 4

Combine.

$\frac{4 \cdot 1}{a^{6} b^{7}} c^{4}$

Step 5

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$\frac{4}{a^{6} b^{7}} c^{4}$

Step 6

Combine $\frac{4}{a^{6} b^{7}}$ and $c^{4}$ .

$\frac{4 c^{4}}{a^{6} b^{7}}$
