3. Multiple: the result of step No. 1 * the result of step No. 3 = 81*1/9 = 81 · 1/1 · 9 = 81/9 = 9 · 9/1 · 9 = 9
Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(81, 9) = 9. Cancelling by a common factor of 9 gives 9/1.
In words - eighty-one multiplied by one ninth = nine.
4. Exponentiation: 3 ^ 0 = 1
5.Multiple: the result of step No. 4 * the result of step No. 5 = 9 * 1 = 9
