Simplifying an expression

From the question, we are to simplify the given expression

The given expression is

$\frac{x^{8}y^{-26} }{x^{14}y^{-5} } \times x^{-39} y^{-21}$

The expression can be simplified as shown below

$\frac{x^{8}y^{-26} }{x^{14}y^{-5} } \times x^{-39} y^{-21}$

$\frac{x^{8} \times x^{-39} \times y^{-26} \times y^{-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{8+-39} \times y^{-26+-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{8-39} \times y^{-26-21} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

$\frac{x^{-31} \times y^{-47} }{x^{14} \times y^{-5} }$

Then,

$\frac{x^{-31} }{x^{14} } \times \frac{ y^{-47} }{ y^{-5} }$

$x^{-31-14} \times y^{-47--5}$

$x^{-31-14} \times y^{-47+5}$

$x^{-45} \times y^{-42}$

$x^{-45} y^{-42}$

Hence, the simplified form of the expression is $x^{-45} y^{-42}$
